What is specific to the Discovery 5

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.

Have this ready when you enquire

  • The 17-character VIN from your licence document, which identifies your exact L462 (sold here 2017–present) and its build.
  • The engine code or number, because this model was sold with the Td6 3.0 V6 turbodiesel, Si6 3.0 supercharged V6 petrol and D300 3.0 six-cylinder turbodiesel (later models).
  • A photo of the old part or its part number, if you can get to it.

Known Discovery 5 exhaust faults

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.

Sensors

Diesel particulate filter blockage

DPFs need regular high-speed driving to regenerate. Short-trip use leads to blocked filters, forced regenerations and eventually cleaning or replacement.

Diesel Particulate Filter

Parts commonly needed for the Discovery 5

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.

Discovery 5 exhaust questions

Why is my Land Rover exhaust blowing?

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.

Can I replace only part of the exhaust?

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.
