Catalytic Convertor Thefts
It seems catalytic convertor theft is [become] prevalent in some areas. A battery powered cutter and, bob's the thieve's uncle. I suggest two stages of how to be prepared.
Typically the Lambda sensor will be screwed in to the the catalytic convertor. It is taken as part of the theft and the wiring is cut. There might be a blanking plug to fit the sensor to the exhaust down pipe. Moving the sensor to that location could minimise the loss and bovver if the catalytic convertor is stolen.
Some 240s have catalytic convertors but are not required for MOT to have a catalytic convertor. So. check re your 240. If appropriate, consider removing the catalytic convertor then it cannot be stolen. Does the catalytic convertor really benefit the environment? And better the scrap value in your own pocket, or store the catalytic convertor in case of need?
