January 2015: Brought a 54 plate RX8 with 55K miles for £1100 - so generally quite happy with that, took it in for a service at Halfords and spent £300 (inc servicing price) on 3 new tyres and an oil change.
March 2015: EML light come on & stayed on, again took it in to Halfords they done a diagnostic (P0420), cleared the light and charged me £50, the next day the light came back on and has remained on since.
June 2015: Decided to get new brake discs and pads all round from Halfords (did come up as a concern on previous service) charged £440, I also enquired about the CAT replacement (as I've found one on a website for £150 inc VAT) and they have quoted me £328 for that and then Lambda sensor replacement as part of that for another £253? Now considering this light has been on for a few months now there doesn't appear to be any issues driving it with and I have also seen plenty of other posts saying pretty much the same.
So I have 2 questions 1: Are Halfords ripping me off, would I be better off getting a quote from a back street garage? and 2: What are your thoughts regarding the CAT, I'm assuming if I don't sort it out then I'll eventually get a blinking EML light and would obviously have to get it done then?
