Have a look under the bonnet, feel up under where the battery would be if it was in the front. Under there you will find a wiring connector, if it's blanked off, then you don't have a cat. If there is another wiring loom plugged in going down to a lambda sensor then you have a cat... rip it out!

the kat or the O2 sensor...lol?

Have a look under the bonnet, feel up under where the battery would be if it was in the front.

Wouldn't it be better to look under the car see if there is a kat?

EITHER OPTION WILL TELL YOU

THE LAMBDA plugs into a socket under the battery tray in the front
so its a bit easier to check than crawling about the floor lol

under batt tray youll feel a big round plug
if theres nothing plugged into it then there aint no cat
