				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?  ???  ::)

 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.!
