Long time ago I had my boxtser in for service and also PPI inspection.
So far i have managed to fix everything mentioned in the PPI like a new clutch, defect cruise control etc... I was also told that I have cracks in the cats and that they needed to be welded for a huge amound of $$$. I can hear some ticking when the engine is cold and I am pretty sure that it is an exhaust leak. But it is impossible to see or feal anything from below during the minute when it is ticking. Does anyone have experience from where the cats might crack and where i should start to search. I do not even know if it is the front or rear cats that are supposed to be welded ( my 2000 ).
