Missing CAT

[MrBird]

So hows everyone doing in 2020? Hope you are all ok.
My lovely 200000 mile mk3 was due to have her MOT today (should have been April, but got a free extension dud to CoVid), I was looking forward to getting the printout of 'jobs todo' that was shorter than last years.
But someone decided to remove my catalytic converter and dent the floor pan up in the process.... (there is a jacking point fuktards)
Where can I get a new cat? And how much are they?
Could this be what kills her off?

See if you can get a second hand one a new one wont be the cheapest

ah mate that is well annoying!

That's not cool

Aftermarket Cats can be dirt cheap sometimes, worth trying motor factors. If not a used one shouldn't be too hard to find.

Well garage ordered one, wrong one, needs to be the type used on a automatic (?) Ordered one, got lost in transit.
Christmas.....
Just waiting for a call to say its done, and MOT'd.
But I am having to self isolate!
In the meantime my sister has lent me a mondeo, with cruise control heated seats and aircon, which she says I can have for a bargin price.
So I will be selling the Astra when she comes back, if anyone is interested.
Dont want to, but I have to. :-(
