So my tyre was repaired! £16 to bung it up which seems a fair price. I asked if they had time in the afternoon to fit my decat and sure enough 6 hours later I was having it fitted.
Firstly the car wouldnt go into the garage never mind the ramp. Reversing in solved that one and all the guys working there liked the car and I had a decent chat with them about it.
I made sure to watch as they were getting the old cat off and sure enough the stud snapped off. Out came the heat and they got the other one off before replacing the studs. Cat then would'nt fit on so studs were removed and replaced with bolts (apparently).
The result? Its so much nicer to drive and isnt as hesitant any more. You can hear the turbo spooling up and lot more and there is definitely a bit more power. At first there was massive smoke but hardly any now £30 to fit which I thought was a good price seeing as I would never have been able to fix the stud problem at home!
