Hi,

It looks like my catalytic converter has failed on my 1995 4/4 (1.8 Zetec engine). Thinking about my exhaust system for the first time it seems a bit of a hotch potch and I am not sure which bits are original. There is a twin pipe from the manifold to the cat with the words Mex 1300 written on it. The cat is in a mild steel case. The silencer is stainless and exhausts out of the passenger side in front of the rear wheel. The silencer seems to be a retro fit but any views on the twin pipe from the manifold would be gratefully received.

HOWEVER my real question is where to get a new cat. A major Morgan supplier has them for well over £800 inc vat. However another site (http://www.cats2u.co.uk/35850/Catalytic-Converter/MORGAN/4/4/1.8) charges £143. In the latter case one of the cat connections is different from the unit fitted to my car. Anyone have any experience of cat suppliers they can recommend.

Many thanks.
