Overheated exhaust could indicate the plugged cats. I would call landrover customer service and ask them what their emissions warranty is on that vehicle. Could be 10 year unlimited mileage. I cant say for sure. But worth a call.

Rover will not cover the cats. We sell them at a fair price and stock the gaskets and studs that tend to break as well. Just call the number below.
