Do I need a catalytic converter in my 95 300TDi for the MOT??

The current cat is fine bit the wire mesh on the flexi joint has burst open and looks a real mess. I'm assuming it will fail because of this joint.

 :lol:

Hi Rob, It's not actually a cat, it's a particle collector & you don't need one for the mot. However if it is fitted, it will need to meet the mot standard. Hope this helps.

Good news though. I can now fit a standard pipe which I assume will be cheaper.

 :P :P

You can use the front downpipe from a 300 TDi Defender, which doesn't have the flexie bit in it.  ;)

Particle collector?  On  LR?  Never!  Its a cat - particulate filters were a dream in 95 for production cars - they weren't even viable for commercial vehicles back then!

You dont need it to pass the MoT as its a smoke density/opacity test which the cat cannot affect as it deals with the chemical composition of the exhaust gas which isnt whats being tested.  You wont notice much taking it off, paossibly a little less smoke on pulling away/accelerating as te engine 'may' breath a bit easier.........
