The vehicle was lifted up on a ramp today throwing some light on the matter. The 'thing' left hanging off was the mid-section silencer. The catalytic converter was embedded in the missing length of pipe.


So this was a straightforward theft. A nice little earner for the thief given current precious metals prices and a ?500 repair bill for the owner.

?500 for a new catalytic converter and exhaust? That's seems very expensive. It was much less when the cat and exhaust on my wife's C3 were replaced. The cat itself was just ?80 for example. I go to a very good local independent garage.

One would expect that you categorise yourself amongst the 'lovely people' on this forum

Better to have some light hearted humour than Daily Mail ranting I say. Theft for selling for scrap has always happened (no excuse of course). Lead of church roofs in my childhood. Controls on scrap yards may reduce some of the resale market.


You can hopefully get an indie to do it fairly cheap or even DIY.

I know Peckhamgatecrasher, and yes they are lovely.


Just because somebody makes a (clever and funny) joke doesn't mean they find vandalism amusing.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
