Hi
New to the forum, I'm off to view a 2006 (56) RR 4.2 V8 S/C next week. Does anyone know if it has a timing chain or belt? I've got a copy of the servicing schedule and it doesn't mention changing a belt anywhere.
Also any experience on how long the exhaust systems normally last for?

Cheers
Steve

The service schedule answers your first question & the exhaust will last till the rust eats through.

V8's have timing chain - no belts to worry about
