I seem to have this problem described on the Scorpio website.
"..but the rattle was very loud. It sounded very similar to a cam rattle.
Fault was traced to a broken ceramic element in the offside Catalyst. The noise transmitted through the exhaust manifold so that it sounded as if it was coming from the front"
I thought it was a rattling heat shield but it isn't. Could anyone recommend a supplier of the nearside cat? 24V Cosworth. Any pitfalls? Any other likely problems? Thanks

remember that most patterned parts are slightly a different shape, so you might/will need to mess about it a bit to get it to fit.

The site has recently been a bit quiet. I have a 2.3 so can't answer your question. The one good thing about information on this site, is that no-one guesses. Because of that you may have to wait a wee while for a good informed answer. What I would say is that most of the aftermarket 'Cats' have no shield, and that doesn't seem to present a problem.

There are several suppliers of after market cats. Have a search for past posts the subject has been well covered in the past.

Hi Lazenby43,
I brought one n/s cat & one o/s cat for my 24v 1998 R reg from this person, click4carparts on ebay. Delivery excellent fitted straight on to the car no messing around does not come with the little gasket seal though but I managed to use the old one. I paid £81.44 delivered on the 1/8/11 for the o/s cat.
Hope this helps
michael

That's most helpful. I had tried the buyparts site but they don't list exhausts and a search on the forum for recent posts didn't bring up much. Thanks again everyone.

That's because you need to click on cat converters - petrol (they don't do the rest of the exhaust for the 24V).

I've ordered both banks £131 including £7.50 delivery. 2-3 days delivery. I'll post on how easy they are to fit.

Thanks. The first link worked as well. I ordered them Monday 7pm and they were delivered Wednesday 12 noon which I think is pretty good. Now let's see how they fit..........
