Hi forum,
I have been informed that the rear exhaust box hanger has snapped (and studs/down pipe fixings are corroded). From searching the forum this appears to be a fairly common problem.
To fix the snapped hanger the indy has recommended they remove the relevant part(s) and send them to a local engineer they outsource MIG welding to. They are coming back to me on availability/exact cost and I can't remember whether the £200-300 they quoted was the welders likely costs or the total cost.
So I guess I am asking:
a) is £200-300 reasonable for welding costs alone?
b) is £200-300 reasonable if this covers everything (labour costs for removing/refitting exhaust, replacing corroded fixings/studs, welding)?
I thought that £200-300 sounded expensive if this is just the welders costs but having no experience/knowledge so I may be completely unjustified in thinking this. In south-east if it makes a difference.
Also, does anyone have any photos that of snapped hangers on the rear box?
Cheers
