I would expect your car to have one being a 93 - it's generally a very flat 'center box' (although some elder types are quite cylinder) and with a little crawling under the car you should also spot the two sensors just before the two manifold ports concatenate. These are your O2 sensors. If you can't see them you don't have a CAT. ALL cars with CATs MUST have O2 sensors.
Interesting that mine hasn't though, being a '92, but hey - it's way cheaper in the long run! Typical dealer costs for these is around 800UKP each....yes...some cars are fitted with two!!

Thanks Lea,
I'll take a look when I'm next under the car, or get the shop to tell me on the next service. Don't like the look of those prices though!
