Mrs C just wrang to say her exhaust sounds like a bag of spanners.
Rang Vx as car only 2 years old - and warranty only lasts 1yr >:(
Trade club price for back box £57.87 so wrang local exhaust centre and they say they have no listing for a 1.4 only a 1.6. Internal mearurements, brackets ect all the same but Vx part nos in catalogue quoted as 13107578 for 1.4 & 93365307 for 1.6 - fitted for £38
So the question is - can a 1.6 box be fitted to a 1.4 and will it be detremental in any way.
I know I should by Vx but at £88 fiited vs £38 for cheapo - it it worth it, after all it's not an Omega ;)

blimey that zorst did not last long! :o
My mega was on its original full exhaust until 8 months ago. £57.87 for a back box on a Meriva? :o :o I only paid around £68 for the one on my Omega and i bet its bigger!
That was on TC though so very much cheaper, can you not blag trade at Vaux?
I should imagine 1.6 box is ok, its like 2.5 & 3.0 Omega back boxes same mounting just different tail pipes. Need DTM to confirm...

Its rubbish coz if you buy a replacement exhaust from Vauxhall you get a 2 year warranty.....
'Man Father' advises calling Vaux and complaining on:

Mrs C brought the car home from Tesco and although the exhaust rubbers are loose it didn't account for the noise. :(
Then I was thinking maybe a loose heat shield....but no. :(
I opened the bonnet and found the bonnet stay resting on the block >:(
I'm sure it wasn't me so I asked if perchance she had been under there for some reason..."me, oh, er, yes - but only to fill up the squirters"
Case solved :)
But I will get a couple of rubber mounts anyway ;)

Glad to help TB. :y If she had a "proper" car, it wouldn't need a bonnet stay, but then she wouldn't be able to reach to close the bonnet anyway ;)

Unless it was a bloody Senator, stupid bonnet is so low I keep cracking my head on it.
Opps, my mistake, you said "proper" car ;)
