Just looking for a bit of advice on the MK1 exhaust.
Got called out by the missus today - heard a strange noise under the car.
Arrived at scene to find back box having separated from exhaust. Has corroded straight through at the join.
Luckily, was able to drive home fine except for a the obvious noise.
The car is still on the same exhaust from when it was bought, and I'm weighing up which option would be best:
1) Garage, new rear end exhaust
2) Garage, whole new exhaust
3) Botch job, universal back box
Main consideration is cost, just wondered if anybody has done any of the above recently and what to expect (Derbyshire prices)? Car is due MOT next month and as an N-reg, she's not going to last forever
Also, if I go with number 3, how easy is it, and am I likely to kill anybody if I do it wrong?
