Hi Guys & Girls

Posted the other day with Vectra problem of not revving above 2500rpm After trying many things including all the suggestions received from fellow Locost members it turns out to be the CAT.
I slackened the exhaust manifold off the head and it revved freely ( & loudly ) My thanks go to Marc Chandler, even though it was sucking hard on intake Marc.

Took it off and just poured the catalyst out. a new one is £200 + VAT but hey my it will get my car back on the road. Now all I need is a phone call off the rolling road guy saying I can go get my Kit, now that I can tow again.

Also thanks to all of you that replied ..... I also posted my problem on two Vauxhall forums, one dedicated to Vectra C and did not get even one answer. So it just shows what a helpful bunch we have in our "club".

I thought I would share my findings in case anyone has similar problems in the future.

Would you like a good downpipe and cat? I have a spare in the garage I was going to scrap.
