AdBlue system and NOx sensors
All diesel Discovery 5 models use SCR with AdBlue. The system is sensitive: running out immobilises the vehicle, and faults in the NOx sensors are a common repair.

Exhaust and emissions parts for Land Rover diesels and petrols, including DPF and EGR components.
Exhaust and emissions parts on the Discovery 5 depend on the engine: the diesels (Td6 3.0 V6 turbodiesel and D300 3.0 six-cylinder turbodiesel (later models)) use emissions hardware that the petrol engines (Si6 3.0 supercharged V6 petrol) do not, and manifolds, pipes and sensors differ between them.
All diesel Discovery 5 models use SCR with AdBlue. The system is sensitive: running out immobilises the vehicle, and faults in the NOx sensors are a common repair.
DPFs need regular high-speed driving to regenerate. Short-trip use leads to blocked filters, forced regenerations and eventually cleaning or replacement.
Discovery 5 owners mostly buy diesel intake and emissions parts: throttle bodies, intake manifolds, NOx sensors, AdBlue components, DPFs and EGR parts, plus timing belt kits for the 3.0 V6 diesel.
The usual causes are a failed gasket at the manifold or downpipe, a split flexi joint, a rusted pipe or silencer, or a loose clamp. A workshop can find the leak quickly with the vehicle on a lift.
Yes. Land Rover exhausts are made in sections, so you can replace just the damaged section. Fit new gaskets, clamps and rubber mounts at the joints you disturb.
For how these parts work and the signs of wear, read the Land Rover exhaust guide.
