So don't laugh!!

My car's just been in for an MOT and it failed for wrong kind of indicator bulb....and a leaking center exhaust box.

In my picture below, marked with a red dot, is that the box that was leaking?



or is it a different part? (pics if poss!!)

and (a bit late now cos its booked for repair) but does a final bill of £89.30 sound about right, for the repair?

Cheers oh knowledgable ones!

Well, its probably not an awfull price for a whole new box but its a pretty poor one if they patch it.

Yes, picture is of an exhaust box.

haha cheers.

well they said "we can do it tomorrow morning because the part is in stock"

so yeah, must be a new box!!

yeah if its leaking that means its got a hole in it and nobody is gunna weld an exhaust box so easyier to have a brand new one

If its leaking it may have simply blown on a weld or seam and in that case most places WILL weld it or even shove some paste in it or a putty bandage round it, so its worthy of consideration...

DOO

A gen ford back box is only just over £30.00 thats if yours is a 1.3 a non ford one prob half the price?

And about 80p for a bulb

Almost £60 a lot of money to fit a back box and bulb

philc

maybe that price includes a retest as well?
