    Cut the cat off before you scrap it, its worth £30-£40 on its own, T-Met are giving good prices at the minute. I got £200 for a MK4 Astra and Cat the other day

    The cat is welded to the car:eek:

    Poor puss.

    (sorry, couldnt resist, I'll get my coat then............)
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    Common fault on Rovers especially 1800cc models?

    :eek:Bad engine design with their inherent cooling system/gasket problems

    not worth fixing! send it on to the 'heavenly scrapyard'

    If its only the head leaking and nothing else you could try putting some k-seal in it...you might get a few more months out of it.

    Raise your hand if you think that post was a cleverly-disguised piece of self-promotion.

    How can that be self-promotion, cleverly disguised or not? Please explain.
