It's finally over! the car runs properly again, and all I had to do was spend even more money on it. Turns out the cat had started to break-down inside, restricting the flow of exhaust gas. I had never seen inside a cat before so I got my mate to cut it open for me, funny looking thing, and you could see where the honeycomb had started collapsing in on itself. Also put a new lambda in it to be on the safe side.I think it might need a new rear silencer soon as its getting a bit rusty round the edges, also I have been told that when the cat breaks down it can block up the rear silencer (don't know if thats true though
)So if your car starts to play up on you like mine did, ask yourself how long the cat has been on the car and don't rule it out as the cause, I'm told they last 5 to 6 years. Funny, because when they first started talking about fitting them to cars many, many years ago they said they would last the lifetime of the car (yeah right!)
Again, thanks to everyone for your help and advice, you all helped me to STOP pulling out what little hair I had left!
Maybe it was the club sticker that helped it to get fixed, cheers again Dai
