Cat Efficiency?
I think one or both of my cats is bad. I have been looking for the evidence before I shell out the $$ to replace it/them. Disco 2, 170k miles. Bad on power, Grand-caravan-has-more-giddy-up kind of bad. Plugged in the OBD monitor and found Cat Efficiency for both banks. Cat eff bank 1 = 115.54, and Cat eff bank 2 = 59.76
I imagine they should in a perfect car be equal. Which one is bad? Would you just replace both?

For a P0420 cat code, before replacing the cat it may be worth your while to do an induction cleaning once or twice to see if that mends the cat.
I used to work for a shop that did the BG services and 50% of the P0420 codes were resolved from doing a proper induction cleaning. The cleaners made their way into the cat(s) and got rid of the crap that was causing the efficiency issues.
