MA966786 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Can anyone advise how to tell if a catalytic converter was fitted as original equipment to my 300 Tdi Defender? It’s registered in 1995 so it could have as it obviously post 1992 when some CAT legislation came into force but I guess it was still an option to have it or not when my Landy was built. It presently doesn’t have one and to honest I’d prefer to keep it that way. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 no legal requirement to have a catalyst on any diesel engine so worry not you don't need/want one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Yes, a cat convertor was fitted as original fit by LR on 300Tdi Defenders/RR/Discovery but not required in UK as White90 said above ^^^^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I think if it had EGR it will have had a cat, if it didn't then it won't. Best idea is to throw away both EGR and the cat though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MA966786 Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 Thanks for the information guys. Glad to see that I'll not be needing one... (For the wallet of course, but perhaps not the environment ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 One wonders how much of the worlds natural resources have been consumed making emissions control equipment for cars that either doesn't work or gets thrown away before it breaks anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
