    Need some help please. After searching for 2 days on here I am still completely baffled by the cats fitted to the vts seems there is conflicting info all over the place!!

    I own a Mk2 VTS 1st registered in March 2000 & i think i need to buy this:

    or

    But there is also this one (seems to have a lambda plug):

    I cant get under the car at the moment as its totally blocked in the garage, & im a work ...

    Any advice is much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Dave

    If your car is a 3 plug ecu one you will need the longer cat section with the lambda hole after the cat.

    If your car is single plug ecu just the normal shorter cat will be fine

    march 2000 wont have a second lambda, not sure if the crossovers might have hat a mk2 shape without the hole though, so a longer one?

    Ah how I'd love a single plug and no gay second lambda (an no annoying EML light)
