I've just given it a wash and started having a closer look at the car. Over the last few years in storage I've started it up and moved it around. A while ago it developed what feels like a bad misfire. I've been told that this is most likely the CAT which has broken down blocking the exhaust. I've checked the distributor cap (fine) and plugs (dirty with carbon), now cleaned. The car was running fine about 2 years ago but one time when I started it up the 'misfire' came on. Has anyone had this before with a CAT and is this likely? I intend to remove it anyway as it is early enough not to need one for the M.O.T. The entire system (except downpipe) is rotten anyway. The brakes are seized of course!
