I have a 2000 D2 which a few months ago had the check engine light come on, thus resulting in a cylinder head replacement from Land Rover covered under warranty. The D ealer performed the work. I got the car back and noticed the engine noise was a bit louder than usual, but I wrote it off to the new cylinder heads being of a slightly different design. Well, the noise seemed to get louder over time, especially on long trips while pulling hills. So, I took the car in. I had a feeling something was loose, as it sounded like a fluttering of air, kinda like exhaust escaping the exhaust pipes somewhere. Sure enough, i got under the car this weekend and the d ealer forgot to put several of the bolts back which hold the exhaust manifold to the downpipes to the cats. I start the car, and sure enough, I could feel the exhaust escaping at idle. So, what I need advice on is how I should approach the d ealer. Seems like some liability issues with carbon monoxide inhalation, as I am sure I have inhaled quite a bit in the past few months due to their error. Any tips on what I should say?
Thanks

just have them replace them and be done, they fall off on these things very often . they most likely put them on and they rattled back off.
you suck as much exhaust at intersections, unless someone has become violently ill and you have blood gas numbers from a ER I dont think youd have a case. |

Thanks for the info. I didn't know that these bolts fall off as much as they do. |
