Hi All,

 

Just returned from a great trip around the Western Isles but had a little mishap on the ferry back to Oban. whilst driving up the ramp something caught the exhaust and tore it clean off! There followed a fairly loud trip back to Elgin to load the car back on the trailer to return to Wiltshire where I am now faced with replacing it. The break occurred unsurprisingly at the flexible joint at the bottom of the down pipe but the question I have is what are my options for a replacement system? I've looked at and priced up standard ones from the likes of Somerford (conveniently 15 minutes walk away!) and so on but whilst I want to retain some semblence of originality I would consider a stainless system if a 'standard' one existed. Anyone know if there is such a thing

 

I should add that the ferry company have offered to cover 'reasonable cost' of a replacement exhaust which, considering they (and probably all ferry operators) make it quite clear that they take no responsibility for any damage that may occur, I think is pretty generous.

 

Cheers all,

 

Richard (and Heather!)

I assume it's am injection model mini? You can buy the downpipe and link pipe to the cat from minispares

Pop into Maniflow and get them to fit a new one.

Thanks chaps, hadn't looked at either of those places!

You can also use the TMF+ discount at minispares to get the maniflow system cheaper. But then you have to fit it yourself.

Thanks for the tip. I'll be fitting it myself anyway so I'll bear that in mind.

Hi all,

 

Thanks again for all your suggestions, now got a system and will be fitting it this weekend.

 

Richard,
