Get the CAT up to temperature, it works much more efficiently when hot. God knows why british cars need them anyway. Our climate is far too cold to warrant them, and most engine sizes are around the region of 2.0's, which punch out hardly any fumes compared to australian/american counterparts. Also with the fact that local shops are 100metres down the road, not 100 miles, like in many other countries around the world also warrants why the fuck CATs are needed at all. They DONT work until they have gone a good 20miles to heat up. fucking government

A good thrashing might clear up some crap on the cat so making more effective
