Quote from: "CpnSpankyPantz"Anyone around the Reading or Aylesbury area?!

If you find out then let us know bud.  s:wink: :wink: s:wink:  

I was speaking with service department of

Inchcape Toyota Guildford
Moorfield Road
Slyfield Green
Guildford
0845 129 0839

And they told me that they would remove the pre catts for me for 150 sobs, perhaps a little off our beaten track but may be worth it cause it Toyota. Because asking I figured it would be a firm NO, chap i spoke with was Jimmy if memory serves.

Hi

Does anyone know if there is anyone in the Basinstoke are that will do it?
Tried doing it myself but the manifold nuts are truly rusted on. No luck with either the cold spray or heat - heads are starting to strip  s:( :( s:(  

Thanks

Hey, I'm new to the forum. Just picked up a good condition 53 plate with 52,000 miles on the clock.  Keen to get this precat business sorted out as my last car (MG ZS TD) suffered headgasket failure last week...

Does anyone know if:

1) There's anyone nr Cheltenham or Cirencester that will remove pre-cats?
2) Whether the "Che" manifold is still available?  I see there's a couple on Ebay at the moment but not sure if these are the ones everyone talks about...

Anyway, good to read all this useful stuff on the forum.  I'd have been none the wiser otherwise!

any recommendations in the Cambridgeshire area for the pre-cat removal?

For future reference, I ended up using Motortech in Cirencester to gut the pre-cat.  Good service and charged £108.  Would recommend

Cool, I'm in Gloucester, need to check if she's already been de-precatted, but will have a look at these guys if she isn't - how long did it take?  Was it while-you-wait?

Blue Streak in Northampton -  removed the pre cats along with fitting the new front struts for the princely sum of £125.00 - pre cats where £55.00  which is a good price. I was quoted £120.00 just to do the struts by two other garages i know! This included replacing two snapped studs in the Manifold.

The work is excellent, no marks on my freshly painted wheels and the car drives perfectly. Sounds slightly deeper as well - Result!

Based on this i would thoroughly recommend them to anyone in the Northampton area, he knows his MR2's inside and out.

Could do with a little more power...or could just lose some weight....

Already mentioned few times on here, had my precat removed by MR TWOs in Willenhall near Wolverhampton.
Nathan is still doing it for £50 and he is pretty damn efficient at it.

Another big up for Nathan at Mr Two's in Willenhall (07812 506 772) who did a superb job of gutting the pre cat as well as fitting new O2 sensors that I gave him - and all for £50.  Worth the hour and a half drive via Leominster to get the work done by someone who really knows what he's doing.
Trying to keep a 2002 pre-facelift MR2 Mk3 on the road...in every sense.

Anyone advise of a garage in Northampton for pre cat removal other than Blue Streak services as they haven't replied to my messages or emails so I guess are not interested.
