Can I alter the exhaust in my Land Rover Defender?
I have read that by removing the catalytic converter and the EGR valve from a TD5 Land Rover Defender, the car will perform better and be a lot more economical. There are replacement pipes and plugs available on the internet, for that purpose and it is MOT-approved. My question is: if I do this in Ireland, would my Defender fail the NCT test?

Is this price right for a timing belt replacement?
My 2010 Peugeot 5008 has 108,000km on the clock and I have been advised by the dealer that the timing belt and water pump need to be replaced. This will cost €800-900 on top of the service. This seems to be a lot of money. Would this be correct?
