Hi,

Just suceeded in changing rear brakepads and discs

(But that's another story - getting those torx screws out was a challenge!!!). Whilst poking about underneath I noticed that the exhaust (Standard 02 reg. Mini One Item) was very rusty and starting to have a few holes in it. Basically we are talking about the big silver box at the extreme rear.

I can't seem to find anyone who sells a new exhaust (standard) except for the main dealer and they quote £215 plus VAT plus gaskets. (Fitted it was about £350!!). It seems that all the Kwik-Fit types don't have them, so.......

Can anyone suggest an alternative source for the exhaust?

Regards,

Phil H

does it have to be a direct replacement for the same type or would you look at after market ones

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

Long as the darned thing fits and "looks the part"- no problem. What I didn't want to do was pay big money for a stainless job as one sees on ebay.

Kind rgards,

Phil.

I understand that. My mini one has dual pipes out the back. All stainless steel through to the cat. cost £270 fully fitted. My mini is in my gallery

Looks good.

Is there any hacking around or is it straight replacement?

Who supplies?

Regards,

Phil.
