   Hi,
   
   I fitted a decat earlier and managed to sheer one of the bolts that connects the cat to the bottom of the manifold:
   
   On the right..:
   
   
   Close up..:
   
   
   Where could I get a replacement? (with a bolt, it went flying and I've lost it haha!)
   
   Thanks!

   Local motor factors, I doubt halfords will sell them for your model.
   Citroen/Peugeot also do them, I doubt they will be expensive.
   
   Usually come in a kit which includes both bolts, springs and other bits for £5-£10.
   
   Worth replacing the whole lot as they rust easily and if you have sheared one side, it won't be long before the other goes the same way...

   Is there a particular name for the set?

   If you have still got the bolt which isn't sheared you could take that down to a motor factors or similar and they will generally be able to match you one up which is very similar if they dont have the exact one.
   If not, as above Citroen or Pug will be able to supply one, but whenever i had to use them for anything with the saxo they did take a couple of days (which i'm guessing isnt an option)
