To fit a catalytic converter on a Land Rover Freelander, you'll need to lift the vehicle securely and remove the exhaust system components that are connected to the old catalytic converter. Disconnect any oxygen sensors and bolts securing the converter in place. Install the new catalytic converter by reversing the removal process, ensuring all connections are secure and properly sealed, and reconnect the oxygen sensors. Finally, lower the vehicle and check for any exhaust leaks.
A catalytic converter can be ruined by a engine that is missing and dumping raw fuel into the converter.
If the vehicle came from the factory with a catalytic converter is illegal to remove it. It will also not run properly without the catalytic converter install.
Your catalytic converter is probably clogged. Disconnect your exhaust just before the catalytic converter and drive then. If it runs better, you'll have to get a new converter. Or just ram out the same one. Try this before changing the oxygen sensors.
Not exactly sure how many the '96 has. All the oxygen sensors are located on the exaust. Some years have them just between the engine and the catalytic converter. Other years have them there in addition to another one behind the catalytic converter. They are screwed into the exhaust connected with connectors. Just unplug connector and unscrew them. Then replace. Some of them are really cranked on there though. Just remember DO NOT touch the tip or get anything on the tip of the new O2 sensors.
A shop can cut the bad converter out and weld a new one in.

Yes, you have to have a catalytic converter in every state if the car came equipped with one when new. It is against federal law to remove one.

No, replace the converter with a new one. Anything else is illegal.
