I have a crack in my exhaust pipe. It's a stainless system I fitted at the end of 2012 so it's coming up to 13 years old. It's in the tail section, which is, fortunately, the bit of the old exhaust which is still intact.
I jacked it up by the chassis to let the axle droop and cut the bolts off, and the old one came out easily:
There's the crack. Also fortunately, the two pipes had the join in exactly the same position with the same pattern of bolt holes, despite being from different manufacturers. So everything went back together easily.
One of those Land Rover jobs that you think is going to be fairly quick and actually does turn out to be fairly quick and easy. Doesn't happen often.
Yes I know, I've used nyloc nuts on an exhaust pipe. They were the only 10mm nuts I could find in the shed this morning. They're some distance away from the engine so are unlikely to burst into flames!
Here's the cat keeping a close eye on me as he relaxes in the back yard:
