Just had my R129 fail the MOT on emissions after the secondary cat delete I had done in April. Car has done under 700 miles since the previous MOT, which was fine.
Luckily I'd put it in early just in case - I've got till the end of the month to get it sorted.
I've not heard of anyone else...

First of all, the muffler and CAT of the w124 is not in good...
Hi guys,
Thinking of removing the secondary cats from my 01 clk55. I had this done on my 430 and it made a noticeable difference so definately worth it.
Now my understanding is that any sort of cat delete is an mot fail from now on so what do you guys plan to do to get around this? I know...

Hi all, ive been toying with the idea of removing the secondary cats on my SL55. I have read many mixed opinions on this and would really like to hear the results before making the changes. I live in the New Forest area wondered if there is anyone out there that has done this mod on the same car...

Does anyone know how can you find out, if at all, what accident a v plate car was involved in prior to being straightened out, so to speak? Is there some sort of public record?

Have just booked the C55 into Longlife Basingstoke for this Saturday to get the Cat and resonator removed. Did a quick run-through over the phone to tell him what I want and he has provisionally quoted saying that it will cost around £100+VAT. When I said that I wouldn't want to travel there...
