|  Help Needed Hello Chaps and chapesses, Sorry for my absence of late...work...women etc all playing a part in being absent. My ole machine is coming up for it's 1st MOT in March and I have a wee slight problem to get over...........  I have a totally De-cat exhaust and naturally it will fail emmisions badly. So does anyone know where I can find someone who could..er...help me get by if you see what I mean  PM would I suggest be the way to go, not so as to create any problemos if you see what I mean   .I am sure I am not the only one who has this problem to contend with. Someone who can do this in the West Midlands would be a great help and recommendstion from someone who has used said bods would be much appreciated, as I don't fancy shelling out £800 for a new system just to pass emmissions.

| Not sure where the cats are on the Octy, but with the Scooby we just swapped the decat centre section for a catted centre section. This brought the emissions down enough to pass on MOT day and only cost us 20 quid at the local exhaust place to get switched  Chris

| Andre, mine was a marginal pass with a full decat - just get it 'kin hot before they do it and you should pass
