Title: How Much?
Post by: Sir Tigger KC on 22 March 2023, 11:24:32
Whilst under the Mondeo yesterday fiddling with the washer pump I saw that the exhaust is hanging by a frayed thread as most of the hangers have rusted and broken off the pipe.  Bummer! :(

Perusing the net this morning looking to see what a new exhaust will cost me, I found a second hand full system. Seems a bargain?  ???  ::)

It's lucky you are blessed with bottomless pockets, Mr Tigger. :-X

How about a system from Poland?

Ooo good shout! I didn't think about Harrods.  :)

Anyway it's all in hand, the local garage are going to bodge it up with rebar weld some new hangers on.  :y

As far as I know my Signum is still on her 'original zorst' from 2007.

They do seem to last a lot longer now our 2005 Subaru is still on its original exhaust as is the 2007 Range Rover, I honestly can't remember the last time I purchased an exhaust system due to failure.

My astra is only nine years old, not of the vintage mentioned above, but it's done 113,000 miles on the original exhaust.

Yes my Mondeo's exhaust is the original and as far as I know apart from the hangers falling off, it's sound.  :y

I'll find out for sure on Friday.  :)

I was in my local one man “ VW approved agent” last week and he had a fairly new SEAT up on the hoist. Had a nose around .

Split in sump- new casing? No it wouldcost too much. Just a braze as it is a tiny crack! Makes a change from the main dealers.

I had a leaking fuel heater on the 4x4 . Hedidnt have the part butvanished fortwenty mins before walking back with the new part in its wrapping. No idea where he got it from. While I was on a roll, I got him to change the bushes on the drivers door hinge too.( From serviceable S/H hinges I had got from a Suzuki breaker.!
