  1. Hi Brendan

    It isn't a bad option to get a stainless system made for your car.

    It works out quite reasonable and also much more durable than a standard steel system which will corrode over time.

    Additionally, it is lighter in weight and also gives a much crisper sound with possible power increase which can also lead to a marginal improvement in fuel economy

  2. Hi John

    A quick look through the 'tinternet' and come up with this list (which looks to me to be quite definitive)

    My money is on item number 3 and can easily be checked by getting your garage to check the oxygen levels from the exhaust (e.g. and exhaust leak will produce a high O2 level on exhaust emissions.....it should be near to zero).

    If the exhaust is leaking then this will throw an imbalance on the cat threshold (pre and post levels).
    This would indicate a leak in the primary part of the exhaust (more than likely a joint before or after the cat - where the pipes/manifold meet the cats)

    What repairs can fix the P0420 code?
    1. Replace muffler or repair leaks in the muffler.
    2. Replace exhaust manifold or repair leaks in the exhaust manifold.
    3. Replace exhaust pipe or repair exhaust pipe leaks.
    4. Replace catalytic converter (most common)
    5. Replace engine coolant temperature sensor.
    6. Replace front or rear oxygen sensor.

    Hi

    I just joined because I'm planning on becoming a Jaguar owner again, after a seven year gap.

    I live in Ferndown but the car I'm looking to buy is a Mk V which will be roughly the same age as me !

    It's always good to talk to fellow petrolheads so, if you have a plan for a meeting, I would be pleased to come along.

    Hi Chris...you are more than welcome to attend, just need a time and place to meet up now
