hi guys,
for abt 2 months now ive been driving with what i thought was some loose exhaust shielding under the car, so i finally got it up on a ramp and was told and shown that one of my cats was rattling, my mechanic(mate) told me i should replace as soon as poss as this will not only fail the MOT but they are known to spit pieces of cat into the engine and damage engine?!?!
what do you guys think, are they dangerous or am i ok to drive around with it rattling until i source a 2nd hand one? (new ones are extortionate, and id rather try to stick to a original MB one)
