Conor, So if you spend £500 on a brand new Cat, and it fails after only 10 months there's nothing you can do? You have to fork out another £500 to replace it? No replacement parts guaranteed? Aren't Cats meant to last a lot longer than 10 months? esp for official replacements direct from manufacturer?

Well you could complain it wasn't fit for purpose, but that would depend on why it failed. -- Duncan Wood

Not unless you can prove that the brand new cat failed because of a materials or manufacturing defect. I would suspect that most cats actually die of poisoning or clogging due to some failure somewhere north; although fuckwittery in fitting or clonking over kerbs can't be ruled out.
