Re: exhaust problems

It means there is a hole somewhere in your exhaust system. It could be a hole:
in the manifold or downpipe
or centre section
or backbox.

Take it to a local garage and let them have a look, and make sure they show you where the hole is before having that section replaced.

If it is a backbox or downpipe these a probably the cheapest to replace so you won't be spending too much £££.

Are you looking at replacing it with a standard part?
