Catalytic converter


Since 1993, cars with petrol engines have all had to have catalytic converters (sometimes known as ‘cats’). These are fitted as part of the car’s exhaust and do a great job of reducing harmful emissions (e.g. carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide) by turning them into less harmful gases or water vapour. They are generally reliable and last well but occas [..]
