Guess what - used car purchase problem. Help?
Discussion
We don't want a pattern part for that ^^^^ reason and also because if the fault does come back we don't want "well, you fitted an aftermarket cat, tough luck".
As to how they've diagnosed it, we have no idea, it's a Pug main dealer doing the diagnosis and they say it's a knackered cat causing the issue so that's what we're going with.
If we're being lied to about the parts availability it's Peugeot UK who are doing it - I'm cynical so made sure the missus called Peugeot customer services directly to complain about the delay and they confirmed there weren't any available.
Still, it could be a lot worse, we might be footing the bill ourselves.

It's only been bloody fitted!

Let's see how it goes. It's fair to say my better half is going to take a bit of time to build up any faith in it. If it lasts more than a fortnight without being taken back to the dealers again it will beat its current record.......

How much use have you had with it since May?
If the problem was a major one then I think you had groudns to reject.
The problem with ending up in a repair cycle - is as you have foudn out - a PITA.
I presume you had a courtesy car so its not all bad.
If the fault was a major one then what should happen is that the trader takes the car back fixes it and ells it on. Not leave the customer without their car for weeks/months.

k me... just read the title and expected a letter from you about the clio ha!Thanks for reminding me Graham, must do that MCOL form. I did warn you I'd sue if it turned out to be a bag of bolts, I know my rights, etc 
Yes we had a courtesy car for the whole time the car was in the garage. They even sent someone up with the car to drop it off here and take the courtesy car back which is a two hour round trip. Again, I really can't fault the supplying garage as they have been great. Peugeot have been a useless shower of ste, but there you go.
Given it usually took about 150-200 miles for the warning to come up we'll hopefully have a good idea if it's fixed or not by this time next week.
