Catalytic Converter

    My car failed the NCT emmissions massively on the emissions and i was told that it was the cat converter causing the trouble and possiby the lambda sensor.
    Its a 2000 opel astra with a 1.2l engine (code x12xe). This engine is mainly used in the corsa and my question is will the cat below for a corsa with the same engine fit my car? Its working out around £100 sterling as opposed to €300 + for one here.

    Also how much work is involved in fitting it and how much would you expect to pay for labour?

    I've only done it on a Clio and a Passat so I don't really know, but here's a free bump.

    I just ordered one for my Corsa last week after a retest failure on CO emissions. 90 euro from my local garage in county Wicklow.

    The opel dealer wanted 150 for parts and 150 for two hours labour!
