Wanted.
Anyone got a cat for a 240?old and rusty will do or even blocked as I just need to get an exhaust on my project car so I can get it to run better.It hasn't got any exhaust apart from the manifold downpipe.Just moving it scares the scarecrows Lol.
Many thanks Brian. |

Cat? Surely not.
Hi,
why do you want a cat? Unless your car was registered after January 1992 it does not have to have a cat...I'm 99% on this. De cat it, so to speak. Prufrock. |

Hi prufrock my 740gle estate is decated as the previous owner had a standard pipe put on but didn't have a lambda probe hence why it ran so badly when I got it,I got the local machanic to braze a threaded bit into the downtube fitted a lambda probe and all is fine.It is H reg 1/8/1990.
Now the K reg was first registered 23/4/1993,thats why I need a cat.I could take the cat off my J reg 240SE but as it is running fine I don't really want the hassle of splitting it.The J reg was first registered 17/7/1992 so ultimately needs a cat. The K reg is my project and I hope to gradually work through it,But I can't really start it up and make it run smoothly with no exhaust.It does need a fair bit of fettling but has no rust just extremely neglected and sort of stiff.All the locks are stiff the interior needs chucking as the dog enjoyed living in it judging by the nest of dog hairs everywhere. It's to good to let go as it ticks all my boxes.2.3L five speed manual and one of the last built. I could spend a lot on a cat but they don't often go wrong and as 240's are always being broke I thought it worth the ask. Regards Brian. |

Before I got GSE to make my present hiflo system, I used to have the standard cat with lambda probe. When the cat died I got a garage to carfully cut with a grinder each end of the cat and open it up like a bean can. They then smashed out all the blocked ceramic and welded the casing back up so that I had a through flow exhaust with the lambda port intact. My system ran much better. 1992 and before are tested on the pre cat test.
As long as your lambda probe is before the cat it works fine............. (hmmm, I didn't fully read the previous post!)

Hi mate yes the 240SE K reg was first registered 23/4/1993,I think you read it just after posting Lol.
Given the choice I would chuck the cat but not sure if it would pass the cat test as it's quite intensive? Thanks anyway Brian. |
