Default Standard Focus 1.6 - exhaust hangers

Noticed today that the exhaust on eldest's 2004 Focus is hanging down but only had time for a quick look - I can only see a single hanger on the back box, then nothing till the downpipe, but if I lift the backbox the whole pipe rotates up a bit.

I'll have a proper look tomorrow, but does anyone know where the other hanger should be, and is it a bolt-on part or has something broken off?

Found it just above the rear subframe - the bracket on the exhaust had completely rusted through but - apart from the back box - the exhaust seems to be the original factory item so 8 years isn't bad! I've botched it with a big jubilee clip for now, but the front hangers look to have stretched by carrying more of the weight. Will get it booked in for a replacement exhaust.

Also reattached the heat shield above where two of the mountings had worn away letting it flap around and rattle. Gotta LOVE big washers!
