Scotty does have a point. Code P0420 for example, is a common generic code for poor catalyst performance. 9 times out of 10, it's usually a intake leak or an exhaust leak. But very commonly misdiagnosed as a bad 02 sensor. Bank 1 sensor 1 to be specific.

Ford Australia was the first company to produce an Australian Coupe ute (Short for "Utilility" vehicle) which was released in 1934.
