When I went to replace the gearbox mount on my Focus MK2, I noticed that the hanger that holds the catalytic converter pipe to the chassis was corroded and needed fixing. The easiest solution turned out to get a replacement one from Autodoc and the fitting only took a few minutes. A great alternar to welding if this facility isn’t available.

Recently, the brakes of my car started to grind every time I pressed the brakes. Since I have been planning to replace the front discs and pads for a while, this was a good opportunity to do the job.
This job might also apply to the Volvo S40 MK2, V50 and C30
