A small hole has developed just before the Cat. Up on the ramps to look at it and BLOODY HELL the entire exhaust system is a single unit, front to back, both sides. That will be £2500 from Land Rover thanks very much.

Ouch!

Anyone know of a decent aftermarket exhaust supplier? A few mins of googling has not found many options.

Thanks

Try longlife exhausts , head office 0161 452 7167 and a great reputation , stockists around the country see website for details.

No connection but they quoted 800 for my old x5 with the same engine as yours

go to FFRR forum - they will help

try Duckworth LR - very competitive prices

just done some checking on 'microcat' - although supplied in once piece at manufacture - individual sections can be replaced as part of service regime

cut points are identified by indentations in the exhaust pipe - 2 per 'side'

to rejoin cut pieces a one piece sleeve is available

this means its far cheaper than you were quoted - shame on the main dealer who did not tell you the above!!

Fixed! Gun Gum Putty has done the job smile

Not sure how long it will last.

not long

then you might use what I posted

this type of problem happens again and again - its an older car but its still a £70K car when it comes to repair/service costs - wish prospective buyers took this into account
