Answer
Exhaust tips are normally black on the inside on these trucks.   As for a defect . . . I suggest you call Land Rover customer service at the phone number listed in your owner's book and express your concerns to them,  They can work with your dealer to get the problem resolved so you are happy.

Sometimes problems like this need factory support to solve; sometimes the dealers have not got adequate training or experience  . . . if they can't help you should turn to the manufacturer.
