Would warranty cover cat converter please?

Split in the engine compartment?
Do you mean the downpipe?
Why not just get one of them and replace it? surely cheaper than a full system?

depends,many newer cars have the cat as part of the manifold/downpipe
it can even be 2 cats
this makes for a very expensive part!

another reason not to buy a 'modern' then .......at least my old primera has the parts for the exhaust available seperately .....

Lol,i dont class Primeras as 'old' cars
thing is
in general new cars are more reliable
just if/when something does go wrong it can cost a large amount
when i started driving, i was out most weekends tweaking timing,points,carbs just to keep the car running
folks are just used to turning the key and going now
