my CAT has split and i am stuck here in Reading. Anyone in Reading or near by got one? And also can anyone help fitting it so i can go back to Bristol for new Years eve. When I say need help, I mean someone has to do it for me as I dont have a clue. I need the car done asap as need to get back to Bristol. If anyone can help at all I will be forever grateful! Cheers. |

I bet. Don't try and pretend you wouldn't have done the same though. Worth phoning local garages on the offchance? If not, PM anyone from here you know is local to you, they're more likely to check their email than be checking the forum today I'd imagine. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Have a read through the recent posts on here and check people's locations, I never pay any attention to them normally. Do you have any kind of breakdown cover that'll take you home? Or a friend who does who could travel with you? ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

I do have one but geographically challenged. In fact I may make a guitar out of it this afternoon and sing you a love song to help cheer you up. ________________________________________  |

just drive it.My cat cracked when I was in Manchester a few years ago, I cruised all the way down the A49 to south wales with the gap getting bigger and bigger, it sounded absolutely mental at full chat  but i kept it to part throttle and under 2k so I didnt attract too much attention. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

I've never had a cat go, but I've driven around with my fair share of exhausts hanging off, just don't go full throttle and it'll be fine. Noisy, but fine. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

There is a hollow metal pipe in the garden I might be able to cut down to size. |

Well best of luck, I'm off to see the parents. Neither or in Reading nor with a catalytic converter, so I feel my help here will be limited. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |
