Knowing my exhust brakets on my rear box were knackered i ordered a fitting kit which arraived yesterday and i set about fitting it that evening.
When i got under the car i discovered the lower parts of the rear box brakets had rotted so bad theyd fallen off and the center rubber was as saggy as a 98 year olds knockers! :?
So I really dont understand how the exhaust hadnt fallen off or at least it shouldve been scrapping on the ground!
The mind boggles :mad:
