[Sir Tigger KC]

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.

How about a system from Poland?

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

.....or a big tin of Gun Gum.

I think Harrods have them cheaper🤣

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.

Prince Andrew? Prince Harry? Meghan perhaps??🤣

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

Oh very clever!   

No it's a hatchback.

Apologies, I am in a good mood

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.

[STEMO]

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

[Sir Tigger KC]

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

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.!
