Back box gone AWOL, DIY or Kwik Fit?
Iain C:
Pulled into the driveway in the car, looked at the back of the Disco and realised that the back box is missing! Thing is, I have no idea of when this happened! Sorry if it was on the road and you were following me!
So what to do? In fairness when I've looked at exhausts in the past for other cars, it's almost always cheaper and easier to drive to Kwik Fit or similar. What are people's thoughts here? Is it legal to drive in the meantime? I never even noticed it getting any louder, just started it now and it sounds the same!
Vehicle is a 1995 300Tdi by the way.

Ian,
Sonds like time for a side exit... keeps it up and out of the way of the crud when off road... and (IMHO! :oops: ) looks a bit cool!

I personnally wouldn't touch a Qwik Fit place with a bargepole - after seeing the 'fix' they did on mother-in-laws car (they attempted to weld a piece of an old exhaust on as the pattern part they had wasn't the right size !)
It probably all depends on the state of the rest of your system - if it's ok, then you might be able to fit a new back box quite easily, if the rest of the system is on its last legs...........you'll be fighting a loosing battle !
Ralph:
I'd go to kwik fit usually cheap as chips and i myself have never had any problems with them.
