Title: Near Side Catalyst 96 cosworth Estate
Post by manscorpio on Dec 11^th, 2006, 6:29pm

If anyone out there has a nearside Catalyst for 96 Cosworth Estate, be pleased to hear from them. Mine is rattling worse than the timing chains......
Urgent need to replace. I will take a pair for a bit of insurance but beggars can't be choosers.

Be grateful if you could investigate. Biggest snag will probably be rusted studs. Looks like a tricky job without a lift of some type. I will continue to look for others, but it would be useful to know where you are, I am in Maidenhead Berkshire at the moment.

Thanks

Ian

Thanks for all your efforts but I have found out that I can buy a new one for c £60 delivered. I thought that I was looking at nearer £400!!

If possible please let me know what bits are left (or maybe whats gone) as I intend keeping this one for a while and know that I will need bits. I am in the Portsmouth area once or twice a month and collection would not be a problem.

Regards

Ian

I would be interested but need to know approx. age of exhaust and, of course, how much!!
If you don'y know the history, does it look like the original exhaust and how many miles has car done?

I've had a look, various studs are rounded and sepaerating the system would be quite tricky without damaging it. History wise, all I know it was on the 12K ago but dont know what it's done before that. I wouldnt want to get involved in taking it off to be honest but any one would be welcome to come and do it themselves.

I think you are wise, it is very easy to snap a stud!
I will leave it for now and find one that is off a car.
Thanks for your offer ; I might take you up on it later.
