It seems that my catalytic converter has come to the end of its life.
My car sometimes lights up the MIL-light and the DTC is telling that catalytic converter is running on low effciency.
My car has to pass its MOT next month and now I can't find a new catalytic converter for this 4-2-1 system. Can someone help?

How long have you had the milltek CAT?

It shouldn't die on you too early? Surely!?

I'd investigate the HEGOs first to make sure one of them isn't going down and also make sure the spark plugs/HT leads are OK and that the air filter isn't blocked.

Have you changed your fuel grade recently?
