General 100HP Exhaust Flex
I replaced one on 1.1 Wasn't worth bodging the whole middle section was twenty something pounds from a local motor factor.
Unfortunately the 1.4 Has a centre box also

Flipping heck
Can find a Punto flex middle and back box for less than £60 So the 100hp should be about the same
Can't find the 100hp anywhere near the same

You can get the 500 centre section cheaper. Anyone know if they are the same.
Seemingly they are the same, every exhaust that I've found is cheaper than buying just the flex section. Makes me think they won't last very long
The cheap exhaust seem to hold up fine. As long as you don't whack them over speed bumps or rot from the inside because of short journeys
God knows how I would manage with a 100HP as I have grounded a 1.2 a few times on farm tracks

hi, i have the same problem with the flexi section on my 2005 multijet diesel.
i looked on ebay, and lots available.from£15-£25 even clamp on type ( of which i would prefer) saves a bit money on welding anyone know the size i would need :yum: i think it may be a 2 "pipe on my car. length of flexi looks to be approx 10 " or would it be easier to buy a complete section @ about £ 36 ? my exhaust has no middle box, just a pipe from the flexi to the back box. cheers, guys. steve.

How easy
Depends a lot on tools.
Weld on type are harder as you still have to drop the full system to weld the top otherwise they leak.
Garages use them as they only have to carry a few diameters in stock.
No idea how the clamp on stand up. But unless you have a reciprocating saw its fairly long winded to cut through the exhaust which you have to do twice.
Not 100% sure but suspect you will have to drop the front to get a hacksaw in, as the exhaust fits in a tunnel.

You will need to do some measuring but this (in the correct size) will do the job.

Rough measurements of 45x210mm does that sound right to people? Would this fit? Stainless Steel Flexi Pipe 45x200 mm + Clamps Exhaust Joint Repair Flex Tube: Amazon.co.uk: Car & Motorbike

You need to get the correct pipe diameter and length. Too big will leak badly but too tight will never fit.
The next issue is cutting the old flexible off the pipe. Angle grinder with slitting disc is the obvious choice but getting into the underfloor side will be "fun". You may need to remove the (cat/manifold back) exhaust from the car to do the job properly.
It will probably need a new bracket to the gearbox as was discussed recently for a 1200. Ive not yet looked in detail under my 100HP but suspect it will be similar to the 1200.
