What was the warning light? Sounds like the dealer is trying to mug you. Take the car to another garage for a second opinion.

Changing the catalytic converter because of an "internal oil leak they cannot find" is just rubbish - you definitely need a competent second opinion.

Sound like an iffy excuse to me. Have you monitored how much oil you are losing / mileage? And £800 to replace you can buy from a well known parts supplier and get your local garage to fit. Warning light?  Which one. Could be oil pressure switch. Do you have oil in it?
