bit of a problem



  clio 172 cup
i have this http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1051
and this http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1088
on my cup. i had them fitted before christmas and was very happy but 8 days later my engine management light came on. i took my car to renault and they fixed whatever was causing the light to come on. but then yesterday my light came back on so in it went again and now they are saying i need a new cat as this one is broke and letting too much stuff through? so i said id pick it up before they did anything and when i picked it up there is no light on, i took it for a good ragging and the light is still off. they also said it would fail an mot test whats going on? any help would be much appreciated thanks
oh i dont do many miles so since its had it fitted its done about 150 miles

do this test....start car, open your door and put your head so you cn see under the car, then rev engine with spare hand. if you hear a rattling noise from cat, then its gone. mine went about 3 months before mot, but it still passed, as the main honeycomb section of the cat was still in there. however, the pipe can become blocked, and you'll lose all power....
