You're probably correct in that it's missing, but it's more common for people to obscure it.

You may already know, but you don't legally need it for the age of car.

I know someone with a modified car that legally needs it, but the car modifier did not enable it.  So wires are now bridged across to give the appearance it works for MOT purposes.  She uses OBD frequently just to check.

Finally got the cat and manifold fitted. Interestingly the main cat had no honeycomb in it. Might explain the p420 code :).
I'm guessing it must have broken down and blown out of the exhaust. It's been passing the MOT for the last 10 years so either it was in there at so.e point or the pre cats were doing the job.

Hi Guys

Found out earlier this year that someone in the past had removed the check engine light LED from the dials. I've got an ODB2 reader and sorted the faults and cleared them now, but I was wondering if anyone can point me at an LED to solder back onto the board. It's a 2001

Thanks

Just popped back in after catching up with @Chilli Girl yesterday in our local Tesco Car park

Remember very well so many happy times and meets, Paris was memorable and Marbl Arch meet for the film eve a brilliant one

A sad parting but at least hopefully someone else will pick up banana from where you have left off

Back then the Club was very active and many friendships made that have stood the test of time

Onwards and upwards, I know similar to me moving on a car is tough but a practical decision

Regards

Pressure test the cooling system for leaks.

First place to check would be the bottom entry to the radiator. IIRC it's on the passenger side. The radiators all seem to go here eventually.

As mentioned elsewhere I've bought from Parts in Motion and found there returns policy to work.
