Interested in what symptoms/ noises led you to diagnosis?
Others have repaired broken exhaust studs body on via access through wheel well.
The car is built to take body off for major repairs. Straight forward on stock car unless you have many accessories fitted.
If taking body off I’d definitely take opportunity to do some other items that become incredibly easy;
Replace brake vacuum pump and gasket.
Replace radiator
Replace fuel pump belt
Replace turbo
Replace turbo intake hoses with silicone kit
Replace plastic block coolant elbow inlet fitting behind the turbo intake hoses (this is an absolute must!!)
Replace steering column uni joint.
Other than a new turbo these are cheap items in the scheme of things that will set you up for another 10 years of motoring.
Check out Advanced Factors online or other LR shop and you’ll see pricing is not scary.
