For my last 2 services there has been an advisory note about one of my cats having a rattle. I have noticed this when pulling away, as the rattle is there for about 5 seconds then disappears.

Well its sounds like the rattle is getting worse, so I am just asking, how much should this cost to repair? Do both cats need to be changed?

I vaguely remember asking the dealer, the first time it was picked up, how much it would cost, I think they said about £2000, but I might be wrong!

Does anyone know where I could get this done, other than a dealer, that is not going to cost an arm and a leg?

Thanks for the help in advance.

Could be a good chance to change them with "200 Cell" cats ...

This ^^^ You will not regret it! Decats would be great too but you'd be giving your self a headache each year at MOT time. 200 cell cats are the perfect balance. A little more power and the sound is fantastic.

Whatever you decide to do changing the cats on the Vantage is easy, any garage should be able to do it.
