I was reading the other day that exhausts are being stolen from cars in order to sell the cats from the exhausts for up to £200 to scrap dealers for the precious metals contained.If this is fact that the dealers are paying so much should we receive an allowance for scrap value when having a replacement exhaust fitted. I have just paid over £700 for an exhaust replacement and
£200 would have gone a long way towards this cost .Any comments please

Yes scrap cars are now worth money, and cats are especially sought after, always ask for your old cat if you are having one replaced ..tho next these guys will be telling us that there is a surcharge on them

you are lucky having a cat , we had moles on our lawn and had to put in a fishpond to
get rid of them.

Doesn't that attract the cats?


I thought they loved fish.

well if they're going to steal mine, then they could at least let me know when as mines poorly. it'll save me a job taking it off.
