Step 1 listen to what folk are typing..

LPG can kill them as can oil containing zddp. The v8 sounds much nicer without cats. They don't really do much for emissions on this old engine, just restrict the exhaust and decrease mpg Mine had the cats emptied and refitted

Sounds like Yes for Sure....

What is the logic on cutting them out ?

Has it failed on emissions, or the lack of cats? Adding cats won't fix the emissions. Will it pass if you get the emissions down without putting cats on?

Just been to the garage - they reckon the cats have been cut out and replaced with straight pipes. Pictures to follow later. If that's the case - please do share where I can get some replacement ones. Should the O2 sensors be pre-cat or post-cat?

If they do MOT's I would be sure they would know if the cat had been tampered with you should see it easily enough when on ramps.

Some days just work out like that......I spent 3 hours trying to take a wing off a classic car to get to an aerial.... seemed simple few bolts, inner wing needs to come off.....bit more the bleeding front fascia needs to come off...... bit more...

Thanks so much for this, mine is still in a box after 8 years !.

Nothing to see here, just attaching X Eng X-Brake fitting instructions for posterity as Foundry was the only place seeming to host this .pdf. Something to note: If it's anything like mine, then the pictures in these instructions don't look like...

Insurance companies have decided they hate Defenders. Ive had the same issue. Slightly modified and its a flat out no or a ridiculous price Easily stolen, expensive to repair (by a garage) parts costs are high, values are hard to determine...

Loving your input on the forum

It's 22L, not 021 or 02L. They never made an axle with those codes. Defender 90 front axle. https://www.lrworkshop.com/axles-differentials/axlecodes You old gits are your own worst enemies! Post big pictures, not postage stamps. Clean the mud...

Sorry for your loss, get a couple of pics up that would be a good start to get some interest.
