Due to new MOT rules I thought it prudent to refit my CAT and as my middle box flange nuts and studs were crusty and impossible to get off I fitted a new middle box (genuine landrover, taken of a new delivery mileage defender, still has labels on, £85 ebay) a real bargain.
What a pain, had to cut the nuts off the old flanges which took an age, then had to remove under trays and chassis cross member and undo the front anti roll bar and swing it down to get front pipe out and CAT pipe in, the under trays were fixed to chassis with rivets just to add to the fun. All in now and the exhaust smells a lot better, it was a very embarrasing before, it really did smell bad. Refitted the EGR last week so should be okay when MOT day comes.
I am as stiff as a board now with aches and pains in places I did not now I had. Getting too old for working under cars, But job done.
