I would say yes you do kingy, your car will still have to be put through an emisions test, and without the cat theres 99% chance it wont pass it Big Grin

Theres no way they wont test your emisions. so you will have to be within a certain range and i dont think you will meet that with out,

Just screw boost & max fuel back in for MOT oh wait .............

My local MOT garage fitted my decat pipe at the weekend.

I asked them about when it next goes in for a test and was told that because it's a diesel they don't usually look for one - they would certainly pass it.

Mine is a 2001 too.

Yeah, diesels dont need one as they don't have an emmisions test, as long as your exhaust isn't leaking and you're not blowing plumes of coal at fast idle you'll be fine.

On a petrol though, wouldn't even try getting away without a cat!
