Default Pug exhaust fell off!!
Driving home tonight on my way to collect Wanda from Bognor a strange growling noise started to emanate from the back of the car.. It got louder and louder as I approached Tescos...a moment later the Exhaust fell off!!.. Oh well I thought to myself, this will be expensive!!

I collected Wanda and proceeded to make her cringe by reeving the trusty 1.9d far more than needed as it sounded like some kind of old world war one plane... (to me at least!!! )

I thought Oh noes... Quickfail had closed for the evening so rocked up to halfrauds and took a look, the back-box had come completely away from the pipe but had left a little stump of pipe where it had rusted through.,

Purchasing a £5.45 steel wrap I grabbed my trusty screwdriver from the glove box. Three minutes under the car and back-box and center section are living in harmony again!!

Oh the joys of budget motoring never a dull moment!

Almost disappointed I didn't get to drive Wanda more than 1 mile with the
sopwith Cam306!

In all seriousness I can't thank the little 306 enough really it has had less money spent on it in 12 months than I have spent on car shampoo for the Subaru!

When where back from the ring I'll lavish a piece of new mild steel and some used Subaru oil on the old faithful

What are the chances, the exhaust broke on my mondeo on the way home today as well

Mines not going to be as cheap to fix, the factory system is one pipe all the way from the cat at the front, no join anywhere further back than the front axle.

Nah, local Hi-Q are doing it tomorrow. Wouldn't pay stealer prices....

Surprisingly enough, the replacement parts now come with a join by the rear axle - i guess they'd struggle to get a 3.5 metre section in a van otherwise lol
