Well it was a long day yestaerday and my hands are sore but i did it!!!
The pre cat removal was not an easy job. The bolts connecting the rear box were a bugger and one had to be drilled out.
The pre cat is a toughie also - I'm amazed that the exhaust gases can actually go through it it's so dense.
While i was at it I also fitted a piperx induction kit. Sounds good at 3000 revs and upwards!
Qiute a day for someone as hopeless as I am at DIY.

Good work Paul 
That precat is a bitch is'nt it. I said I would'nt do it ever again.
I definitely notice a difference after mine was out.

Feels better in mid range but that might just be the noise!
Not sure when I'm doing the clam Cheeky. I think I'd be a bit shy being watched. I work very much by trial and error - usually lots of error!!!
P.S since yesterday I seem to have mis-laid/lost my wheel nut key. Any ideas how much for a new one anyone?

I did the same the 1st time i changed my pads
Even walked around the village loking for it!!! Had to buy a new set of locking wheel nuts, not Vauxhall ones, - i got the other one off by trying everyones at the Silverstone track evening - Streetboys fitted mine
I borrowed it 
, removed them and posted it back to him a few days later... Perhaps you could do that next weekend??

Can you not just buy one from Vauxhall?
If it comes to that I can just pop across the road to Crownhill and borrow one off of one of Waynes.
