Either drive into Bournemouth or Southampton and you will find plenty of dealers there, or even on the way. :y :y

Just steer clear of Kwik Fitup and you shouldn't have a problem!! :D :D ;) ;)

If its just blowing can it not wait til you get home? Or if its coming loose get under there and remove it before it falls off and causes an accident. Bikes and cars dont like big jumps of metal lieing in the road. May be loud but better safe. Or patch it with one of those mickey mouse kits from Halfords, or bear can and jubiled clips or summat.

How long are you down here for as i may be able to help. I work in southampton for kwikfit at the very least i can give you a honest opinion(cant do much with kwikfit prices though) but may be able to repair or if you can get an exhaust fit it for you. Let me know if your interested and i'll pm you my phone no so we can sort something.

@lizzy
normaly i'd agree with you but i  try to see most of the mig drivers that come in to my depot and steer them clear ::)(unless i can do the work myself)so not all kwikfits are that bad ;D ;D

Many thanks for the replies.
Lee4206 thanks for the price, I managed to get the car jacked up to a height I could crawl under it. With the help of a 'Carlberg Special Can' (only the best) and a couple of 'jubilee clips' (one each pipe) made a good repair. 160miles later sound fine. Back home purchased new exhaust- the two middles and an end box £99.99, (GT Exhausts) will fit it in a few days.
Again, thanks to forum members
