Is this for Real???

Would anybody really bother???

Not exactly cheap either......

CatClamp | CatClamp

Yeap thats real. Cat theft is on the increase for the platinum they contain. Seems excessive though.

what is the world coming to ???

Depends business use then lorry cats cost serious money I might get one if I ever loose my cats but I have 2 so would cost me.

Is that why the locking diff was invented?
How do you stop people from nicking your cat clamp?
Is there a cat clamp clamp?

the CCTV that is fitted around our house cost less than that, it watches the cars too

Sprinter vans are common targets at the moment. Cats on them are summit like £1500 new and need programming too.

There was a spate of nicking them off 4x4s in Swindon a few years back, so I removed my one on the L series and fitted a bypass pipe as it wasn't needed. All it really does is stop the diesel fume smell, which it certainly did, but our local thieving scum wouldn't know that.. Once removed, the exhaust smelled of diesel which it hadn't done before. Still got the cat in the shed- must get it on ebay sometime...

I guess once yours has been nicked and you find out it's eggspensive to replace (if yours is) then the camp is an insurance policy. Hook the loops round something underneath and hope for the best.

they vary from £59.00 for an aftermarket to £1041.00 for a Land Rover one:jaw: for the 1.8

Those cat clamps are so expensive the crooks will probably nick them instead of the cat!! :doh:

My mate who breaks Freelanders had the cats nicked off every one in his yard a while back. That was around 15 vehicles.

Is it in an mot yet that you need a cat if its fitted originally? I remember it being considered

Yep
If it left the factory with a cat, it must be there for the MOT. Petrol engines only mind, a diesel will pass without the cat fitted.

I had the padlock nicked off my bike in the school bike racks once - left the (rather crap) bike, just took the padlock.

dpf you will find it's used to stop the bad stuff getting out but you have to lace the car so it can purge the bad **** in one go
