Been clearing out my garage and dumping / selling stuff.

I've got an exhaust off a 2001 K Series. No good to me or my L Series, so going to list it.

Got the 2 bits out and took a photo.

And they look to long to be a Freelander exhaust. Have I got another exhaust I'd forgotten about or is it just the camera angle?

Any good for you @htr ?

Dunno where the back box is. I'm sure its not on the parts car.
 
Front section yes Deffo.

Rear section bend near axle looks wrong but remember that the manifold is right at the front of a 1.8 so long it is!!
 
I don't think it's Freelander. It's likely section with the cat from another Rover vehicle. The other section I'm not sure, it's not from an Rover vehicle that I recognise.

Yes you're spot on, as the O2 sensor hole is rearward of the cat. I'm looking at it as though the engine is on the left, but that would put the O2 sensor before the cat, not after.

If the cat is original that is worth a few hundred as scrap.

A good genuine CAT for a 1.8 in the UK gets good money on the second hand market, as they're seriously expensive new. I think a CAT is worth about £40 as scrap, at least it was a few years ago.

So the other section is the intermediate pipe, which goes under the suspension links before joining the back box.
 
Interesting.

I am sure they came off the parts Freelander which is a 2001 1A VIN 1.8 car.

Looking at this pic for a 1A 1.8, the front part looks correct, but the intermediate part looks wrong, it doesn't really loop back down from going over the axle...

Looking at a YA part, ie early ones up to 99/2000, it looks exactly like the one I've got...

Maybe in early 1A production it used the same exhaust as the YA cars but they were superceeded by the later part.

I imagine the intermediate part can only be used with a matching rear box.
 
Hello, I've just been reading this. My O2 sensor is on the manifold. The 4 go into a '2' section, they become 1 just before the flexi bit which is in front of the CAT'. I thought the late ones had the CAT' on the manifold itself? The section in the upper part of that pic looks right.

The later 1.8 has 2 cats, one in the manifold and a second in the exhaust, and cat monitoring was added, hence the second O2 sensor.
