Is there anyone near Reading who can help me with my MOT?

My car’s main fault is her proper charva decat system. From the receipts, it wasn’t cheap but makes the car sound and look cheap. The o2 sensor was also kept which obviously means the engine light is always on. She’s been parked up for about a year now; I hate to see it.

I’ve bought an original system plus custom 3”, sports-cat downpipe. All the garages I’ve spoken to won’t fit it because the cat isn’t EC stamped (an EC stamped cat was an extra £400). I just want to get her on the road again.

If there’s a forum member nearby, who can help, please DM me.

I had a dc and put an sc on it, it passed first time round and struggled the next. Light is always popping up. So fed up with it im tempted to put the factory cat back on but the flexi is bad.
