The day after my last update, our little bundle came two weeks early on 31.07.2025 at 06:55AM.

Felix is our first child, and I'll admit that I seriously struggled with the change at first, but after three months, he started smiling and laughing, which made the sleep deprivation (he is an extremely 'Active Sleeper') so much easier to bear.

So, the MR2 has gone on the back burner a little. I did get the front coilover top mount bearings replaced, which has fixed the knock thankfully.

Apart from that, it is now SORN, and tucked away in the garage once again, awaiting next year where I hope to get a chance to go to Oulton Park for a trackday.

Congrats 🎊

A good cat will read about .01 to .02, so reading close to .3 means it's at the upper limit and is close to end of life.

Congratulations @Alex Knight on your new arrival, sorry for the sleep deprivation!

As readings are not that far out. Could an  exhaust leak be enough to cause the fail?

How much of a leak is needed to fail?

     well done for  getting this far so far only the rest of your life to go then you can stop worrying  
glad all well especially now you can take it all in more  

now let your 2 sleep well and look forward to next years outings and service work on your 2

Thanks both

Suspect it will be better in the long run to replace the cat. It's going to be off the road for a few months so can save up some pennies for a new one; also shiny new chrome pipes. I wonder if a previous owner replaced the cat with a non type approved one.

Cheers
