update on diesel exhaust smell in cabin- my 2019 Discovery TD6 has an exhaust leak coming from a flex pipe in the Cross Over Pipe
(LR038751). anyone had this replaced? very little room between the engine and firewall. perhaps and engine out to replace?

after searching through the Italian discovery 5 shop manual and using Google Translate my understanding is the front and rear drive shafts have to be disconnected and the transmission partially lowered to gain working access to the bolts/nuts holding the crossover pipe in place. so a bigger job than i want to tackle. the dealer wants $2,400 CAD (£1,390/€1,610/USD $1,770) parts and labour. my independent repair guy did not want to do it so i will get it done by the dealer who says he has done this repair on a few Disco 5s.

We are experiencing the same
Has anyone else experienced this? I've been getting subtle exhaust smells on a 2017 HSE TD6 with 96,000 miles that I picked up over the weekend. No check engine lights or anything else. Car drives great, this is also my first experience with a diesel vehicle. Had it inspected before purchasing and everything checked out too. So far, the subtle smell hasn't made me feel nauseous or off, but would like to catch it if it's something that can be prevented from turning into something larger. Thanks!

Good to know! I had an independent look into it and traced it back to the turbo. He noticed some smoke when pressing on the gas. I’m having him do some additional diagnostics as the preliminary check was brief.
I did find a video on YouTube that also discusses the exhaust line that comes off the turbo tends to come loose, all you have to do is retighten it, but that was on a Range Rover Evoque TD. Hoping that is what has happened on mine.

Here's the video that I found:
*This is in reference to the 4 cylinder, not the TDV6 found in the Discovery V. Just trying to find as much information as possible on diesel smell leaks. Thanks!

i had a Muffler shop diagnose my issue. they wanted to fix it and i wanted them to however they ultimately declined to do the work as they had a problem trying to disconnect the front prop shaft. At least with the Discovery 5 it is a somewhat easier task to change the crossover pipe as compared to the Discovery 3,4. There is a good YouTube video showing the entire body coming off to do the crossover pipe.
