Does anyone know the symptoms of catalyst failure?My disco seams to be less
responsive and idles a little lumpy,it also seams reluctant to kick
down.When i floored it this morning it seamed sluggish and when i stopped
there was a sulphur aroma in the cabin.If the cats are failing does anyone
know of a cheap suppier?
mny thx Tim

The big hint when mine went was that the pipe exploded off the
manifold! It sounded damned good too....

A good indication is the smell of sulphur (rotten eggs). NRP makes damn
good exhaust systems out of stainless steel. I purchase my entire system
from RoversNorth.com and am very pleased with it.
