Most places offer you a retest for free if it is within a week of the first one.

Yeah new CAT's are normally a massive amount of money unless your on a big engine.

Small engines only need a small CAT to restrict emmisions, yet on a bigger engine you need more of a quality CAT to deal with more emmisions and to restrict them within regulations.
