    Any diesel unless its a heavy smoker will pass the urrent diesel emmisions test as it is a smoke test rather than a gas analyser test so as long as it meets the smoke requirements it will pass a CAT has no effect on the smoke in the exhaust !

    Because how ever well maintained the braking system is there are times and situations that they will not release when reversing especially if you have tri axle trailers then there is sometime a wheel or axle not in complete contact and as the autoreverse relys on the torque of the reversing wheel to basically force the shoes against the spring untill they release if there is not enough friction between the wheel and the ground then the wheel will not provide enough torque to overcome the spring resistance ! i wouldnt know about this as i have never towed off road with loaded ifors and wet grass deep mud snow full loads or anything ~! Nor have i ever got stuck or had problems reversing !

    Yep you can have it mapped off and replaced with a straight pipe would run better and less risk of them nicking it !

    Hi yup there about just a bit of advice for you guys as im in the Exhaust trade yes the aftermarket ones are cheeper and there not worth as much they are taking them from most tall vehicles that have underbody cats ! Sprinters transits rangers etc. For the MOT you dont need a Cat on a diesel so why replace it with another one? we fit replacement pipes for people then if they come back they arent going to nick that its not worth it ! there are some different ideas re security the most effective seam to be fixed cages round the cats to stop them being removed! there are some deices tat clamp round the cat body and then have a steel cable attached to the vehicle i have heard that these are not very effective as they just cut the cable and make off with the cat! Problem is unlike scrap which you now need to be payed either onto a debit card by cheque or direct into the bank the cat refiners still pay cash !

    There are alot of tuners out there we do it too with laptop and the vehicle in front of us takes around 2 hours moslty dependant on the ECU fitted and the time it takes to read the file from the ECU and to upload the modified one ! you can average 30 hp increase and 30 - 50 Nm increase over standard power all dependant on the vehicle !
