One stretch disco
2 x standard lightweights
2 x hybrid lightweight
1 x 88" s3 hard top

1 x Sankey trailer
1 x 88" tub trailer
1 x car trailer for the ones that are not on the road

plus a Vauxhall Meriva for running my father about

These are what I currently own, apart from headaches from the other half :lol:

till on my first, second and third.

1974 Series 3 - straight 4 Petrol (gained on feb 2nd 07)
1980 Series 3 - straight 4 diesel (gained on aug 8 07)
1980 Range Rover - 3.5 carbs v8 (gained on aug 8 07)

The last two I've nicked off my dad, but have been playing about with them for some time. Petrol S3 under budget rebuild, Diesel S3 under full rebuild and Range Rover may be bobed but will remain off road for a long time. I cant afford fuel at the moment.

Blue was the first
The came Red, which I sold to my sister
I had another blue one that was stolen
The came chuggaboom, that belongs to the wife
shortly afterwards came the LSE
this year I bought another LSE to break for parts
and finally a '93 SE that's for sale, I bought on a whim.

My sister now has a soft-dash, but that only comes here when it's broken, so almost never.

So we have 5, plus one that's just a memory.  All RRCs if you needed to ask.

Well if you have 109 which has been cut down then sure you need to do the same with the exhaust, You need to cut 19.5" (look for a straight part of exhaust pipe) from the section between rear of gearbox to silencer and weld it back together.
 You may be able to extend the 88 in a similar way but you would need to a couple of inches from beyond the silencer and add it in the section as above from memory pipe diameter is the same.
 
 You may want to look at the possibility adjusting the chassis mount (hammer) you may be able to adjust them to be able to get and 88 to fit bare in mind most exhausts are hung on rubber mount

ok well at the moment i have an 88 exhaust that i was going to link up with some flexi pipe but like you said they arnt chassis mounts in the right places, can i weld some on, or would it just be easier to buy a 109 exhaust and "cut n shut" it?
