Newbie here and I know I need to start learning about cars! Had a mini one for a year, first car. It failed on the CO emissions only, other ones Lambda etc all fine. Have only had a basic service and so air filter not changed, neither spark plugs. Garage are now telling me it will cost £300+ for a new catalytic converter. From reading around it seems they might be trying to rip me off. I have had no warning signs and the car has been running fine. We do use it for short journeys only, which I know could be an issue. Just wanting some advice from more knowledgable people on here. Not sure if I should pay for upgrade of service to include spark plugs etc. Or should I take it elsewhere?
