Luckily I was only going slowly at the time, and was able to stop and retrieve it. Anyway, I briefly looked at it and assumed a clamp or something had broken. However when I looked the next day it didn't look that simple. So. heres the back box The end is like so. As I found it, it had a small pipe in the end of it as such: The connection on the middle section box looks like this: Now, either somebody has bodged it together before now, or this bit has failed and come off? I'm confused as to which part to replace. As if I try and attach it all back together it won't reach. So should I just get a bit of flexi exhaust pipe and clamp it all back together, or should I be replacing parts, and if so which? Any help appreciated. Just want to get it back on the road

It normally takes the rear bumper off so you've been lucky I think its because the span between mountings is quite large and it flexes the centre box outlet. 2 pieces of 16 gauge steel should do the trick.
