Title: I think my car needs a new exhaust Post by: Bogus Dave on Sunday, April 24, 2011, 11:42:52 Anybody got any recommendations/experiences of where to go to get this done cheaply/well in swindon?
Title: Re: I think my car needs a new exhaust Post by: Batch on Sunday, April 24, 2011, 11:44:11 The whole exhaust or just a section? It may not be as bad as you think - though its never cheap.

He also reckons the cars now illegal to drive? Is this true? I'm not particulalry au fait with cars Title: Re: I think my car needs a new exhaust Post by: Simon Pieman on Sunday, April 24, 2011, 11:58:33 Exhausts will be a fairly standard price outside of main dealers. If it's just your back box it probably won't cost too much.

I saw some diy things on halfords, anyone used them before? Title: Re: I think my car needs a new exhaust Post by: Samdy Gray on Sunday, April 24, 2011, 12:30:47 The DIY repair kits are shit. Tried one before on my old Megane but it only lasted a week or so until it gave in.
Don't you have a Ka or something like that? A new back box should be fairly cheap. Just don't go to Kwik Fit. Bells in Old Town are good. Title: Re: I think my car needs a new exhaust Post by: Sippo on Sunday, April 24, 2011, 12:38:12 Another one for Bells. Superb service.

Bells in Old Town are good. Cool cool. yeah, i'll give bells a ring tomorrow, people seem to like them Title: Re: I think my car needs a new exhaust Post by: Sippo on Sunday, April 24, 2011, 13:18:39 Very unlikely they'll be open tomorrow.
Title: Re: I think my car needs a new exhaust Post by: flammableBen on Sunday, April 24, 2011, 13:21:01 Just keep driving it and hope the problem goes away.

Did a good job as well. Autospeed and Kwik-Fit are actually the same company!Title: Re: I think my car needs a new exhaust Post by: Arriba on Sunday, April 24, 2011, 16:58:24 bells.wont rip you off if only part of it needs changing
Title: Re: I think my car needs a new exhaust Post by: The Grim Reaper on Sunday, April 24, 2011, 17:20:41 I'd go along with Bells too. Slightly dearer than Kwik Fit but far more honest IMO.
Title: Re: I think my car needs a new exhaust Post by: Benzel on Monday, April 25, 2011, 09:36:03 Yeah mine is rattling around a bit at the moment. Don't think there's a hole, I think it has come away from it's fitting.
