[steve owen]

Hi,
i`m new to all of this and wondered if anyone can help?
my car is a `95/6 C180 and i need a new catalytic converter ,
can anyone tell me where i might get a new or used one for a reasonable price when i enquire at certain "Quick Fit" types of places the impression i get is people seem to think i`m game for paying out loads of money because it`s a Mercedes and i`m fat and 40 therefore......game on! the rest of the system needs renewing as well sir! ................... i pay !
I live in Staffordshire (but near Derby) and i am prepared to travel i will also consider buying a part or complete system.
Please help if you can.
regards, Steve owen

Have you tried Euro car parts? (www.eurocarparts.com)
Be careful to specify if you want original equipment quality, or a cheaper replacement.
Good Luck.

Thanks i`ve taken it to my local HI-Q complete system for £600 2 yrs guarantee not as good as genuine M-B i am sure but possibly getting on for half the price.
