Typical Characteristics of Land Rover Catalytic Converters
Land Rover catalytic converters can vary in shape and configuration depending on the model and engine type. However, they share some common features that make them recognizable:
- Construction: Most Land Rover converters are made from durable stainless steel, often with thick heat shields. Some may have dual-brick cores, particularly in high-performance or diesel models.
- Weight: They tend to be heavier than standard converters, which can be an indicator of higher precious metal content.
- Design: Typically, they feature an oval or rectangular canister shape with rounded edges. Many include large exhaust inlets/outlets and even built-in flex pipes.
Serial Numbers and Stamping
Like other converters, Land Rover catalytic converters are identified primarily by their serial numbers. Here’s how you can locate them:
- Location: Serial numbers are usually etched or stamped into the metal body. Common areas include the heat shield or near the inlet flange.
- Common Prefixes and Part Numbers:
- LR, WAG, or HJS are typical prefixes for OEM parts.
- Examples of full part numbers include:
- WAG000030
- HJS1234568H22
- 9H32 (Common starting codes)
- Hidden Placement: In some cases, serial numbers may be concealed behind heat shields or obscured by layers of soot. Cleaning the surface can help reveal them.
