thanks for any advice, and
How about Tune Up advice too

I just had both cats replaced on my 2002. The fact that the front sub-frame has to be dropped to gain access to the rear cat led me to having this done by a mechanic (yeah, I know I am a lightweight). See my related post in this forum - https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...erters-193511/

While you are in there, you might consider replacing the plugs and coils (rear 3 at least - I did all 6) along with the upper and lower manifold gaskets and throttle body gasket. I suspect that problems with the coils/plugs in large measure led to the cat failure in the first place - but I bought the car knowing there were cat problems....
