I have had no choice tho TBH, as I had to go to a garage this morning with the hopes of getting it temporarily bodged but it has rotten almost all the way round and has a max of 2 weeks life left in it before it drops, buries itself in the road and rips the rest of the exhaust off and does god knows what other damage, and with limited funds and having to fix 2 cars at once on CREDIT, I got no choice, my Frontera blew both the Master and Slave Cylinders on the clutch and have spent out on that and am finishing the work on it on Sunday and now the Omega is throwing a major hissy fit with refusing to start, doing 23mpg on a 20 mile steady round trip which is horrendous as it used to do to do 38mpg on the same run before the exhaust went like it did and it is costing me in excess of £70 a week to run doing approx 50 miles a day 5 days a week and 25 miles a day at the weekend approx although the last week I have been doing 100 miles a day approx which is not doing my health any good!
Desperate times = desperate measures!
Car-nut, can I make a suggestion. If you want people on this forum to take you seriously, and try and help you, can I suggest that you get you story straight??? 
If you look back on this thread, I offered to take the exhaust section you needed to Colchester to save postage costs. You replied (about a week ago) saying that it was 100 miles from you, and your Omega is lucky to see 20 miles a week at the moment. Yet now you are waffling on about doing 100 miles a day last week!!! 
OOF is all about helping people, but it is not a charity. Myself and the other guys breaking cars on here are more than willing to supply parts at very reasonable prices. We do feel it's abit of a kick in the teeth though when you constantly want parts for next to nothing, but in the next breath advertise you own parts for sale at absolutley rediculous prices!! (I use your dented bootlid as a prime example) 
Please take this as constructive advise, rather than criticism, and in the future please treat other OOFers in the way you would like to be treated yourself. 
Yes and as I explained in my waffling, I have had to do the Extra miles to take my other half to work as the Frontera that is normally the work car is off the road, So I have had to use the Omega as my other half can't drive Auto's.
And as I also stated Colchester is 100 Miles from me and yes it was a kind offer but I couldn't afford to do the 200 miles round journey to collect the exhaust as I needed the 200 miles it would take to do 2 days of running around sorting out the Frontera and my other half to and from work as we live in a remote area so Public transport is out of the question, so I have not contradicted myself, made myself look stupid or anything like that.
It would cost me more to drive to Colchester and back and buy the cat from you then it has now cost me to buy the NEW one from Eurocarparts. I have not tried to use OOF as a charity either, I was just trying to see if another member could help me by supplying a used part and I could help them by putting money in there pocket. Seriously I don't know what is wrong with some people in this club as all they do is MOAN MOAN MOAN about each other and have a go for NO APPARANT REASON! THERE IS NO NEED FOR IT.
I am taking a break from off for a few days before I say something a few people wont like!!!
I haven't done anything wrong.
I asked for a part.
You replied.
I asked for postage.
You replied with an estimate and also said you would get a defo price.
I replied and replied and never got a defo price back. Then I get a bitchy message saying that you sold it to someone else as I never replied when I did and was waiting for a defo postage price.
But 'dangle berries' to ya.
Grow up man.
Catch you all in a few days when I have had time to calm down and when you have had a chance to reflect on everything you said.
