Implications of no back box on a 300Tdi??

No One said it was Illegal Iain!!!! Yes if your exhaust does not clear the fumes away from the body then it will fail the MOT, but that does not make it illegal. If it is noisy (which they are not) then the police may have something to say, but regarding illegal? No, its not!!

I'll go outside now and get a pic of mine, to see what can be simply done.

Iain C:
Ah, I read "fail MOT" as "Illegal"...look forward to the advice!

Ta :D

crazymac:
Right, only got a couple cos the batteries have died on me but this is what I have done..

The box had departed behind the rearmost hanger, leaving about a half inch of pipe. So I got a piece off an old Rangy back box with the grinder and hamered it onto the stub. I then backed that up with a couple of tack welds, then a piece of exhaust repair tape, and finally a clamp just to be sure. Sailed its MOT with this on Wed.

Ooops, The pics are to big!!! I'll need to figure out how to resize and go from there :roll:

crazymac:
And the other one :roll:

discograham:
Mine has no rear box either... I kept hitting it when off roading ... so off it came...

Sailed through MOT, no real change in noise levels, and it seems to have a little more poke...but that could be my imagination.... :lol:
