Right guys....Managed to get a piece of flexi early this morning from Latham Motorcare in Burscough...Also got myself a section of pipe at the same time...Given the position of the flexi on my 2.2i I am going to cut out the old perished piece...Weld a piece of pipe onto the ends of the new flexi and slot them in to the old pipes etc....I'll then weld it up all round and hopefully be sorted....Total cost for the pipe and flexi £15!!

tis a cheap job, its worth mentioning don't make the replacement flexi too long, as any more than factory standard will push the off side rear silencer of the exhaust into the car subframe, and cause a rattle due to the movement of the zorst  :y

Very sound advice Tunnie, i've got the t-shirt on that one. I had to gently use a jack to move a small rod / bar that sits at the back of the exhaust and is welded to the car body, whilst ensuring it didn't snap.
