One of the complications with the purchase is where I bought the car from. The dealership is basically a 100 miles from where I live. Therefore to return the car to him and then to pick up would be over £100 in fuel (2 cars) I know its not his concern, but I wouldn't have to make the journey...

Well I think I spoke too soon. The car was looked at today and the exhaust system (including the manifolds) are OK. In fact the manifolds had recently been re-seated and although whoever did it didn't do a great job (the bolts sheared off and they used different sized bolts) there's no leak...

OK, got it back from LR service centre, and they believe its the exhaust manifold.. Since I've had the car I said on several occassions while driving it, there's a smell of exhaust in the cabin, I'm assuming this is the case... OK back to the dealership where I got it to see if they can help..

Thanks guys I appreciate the replies, I just rang my local LR service centre and they say its probably the timing belt and it shouldnt be driven, the guy I bought the car runs his own dealership and gave me a 28 major defect warranty, do you think the timing belt would be covered under this, or...

Hi, Hoping someone could advise as I don't confess to being mechanically minded at all. Bought a D2 V8 ES last week and on the test drive noticed a ticking sound on acceleration (not there on idle). The dealer said it was normal for a Disco V8. But its so noticable, I've had 4.0 Litre V8's...

Thanks, I didn't think so it was just odd they are advertised as TD5 load space covers..

Hi, Just bought my first landy, went for the D2 V8, yeah I know but I don't do that many miles per year.. The car didnt have a load space cover and I was wondering if one meant for a Td5 would fit? Thanks in advance.. Andy
