Title: 5dr 1.4 cat- how can I tell if mine is shot?
Post by: Sonic2 on 01 August 2009, 16:01

I might be imagining it, as ive had a pretty lead right foot recently, but I think my cat might be on its way out as its using more petrol than normal, I think.

Any way of telling, without getting a garage to say "yeah its shot" simply because they are short of work?

tia :)
