Hi Everyone

I have desperately been trying to find a part for my Mk1 Focus RS, I have purchased many different parts from ford specialists which all turn out to be wrong. So I am turning to you ford mad people to see if you can shed some light on this?? Please

Where the cat connects to the downpipe, in the middle of the cat it has a wire mesh gasket, which is blowing on my car. I have been trying to find someone who makes them and have been informed I can not buy it as it is a flexi join, and would need to replace the cat costing £1300. Me being a girl bought a full exhaust system (due to arrive this week) thinking if i get the decat pipe this will solve my problem.... but Graham Goode Racing informed me this would not get rid of that part. So I am back on the hunt, and don't really want to buy a new cat but I will if I have too.

My focus only has 32k on the clock, and I have done 400 miles since I bought her in March, so she just sits in my garage and comes out on the weekends when the sun is out! This is my toy car so I am not desperate for the part, I just don't want to spend £1300 on a new cat if I can locate the gasket for £50.

Sorry for the essay I hope you guys can help.

Thank you

Cassie
