put on ramp at work to check for mot - not a mechanic but mate who is doing work is

new discs and pads front( not a fail but past what i am happy with and cheapish tro replace
wheelbearing adjust/tighten
one tyre
wheel alignment
rear handbrake shoe sticking
rear pads and clean up rear discs

all fine, simple and expected

now to exhaust
manifold ect all fine.
centre box and bit holey, pipe to rear box been patched before and holed where pipes come together, rear box holed and tailpipe holding on like a half peeled orange

what is best replacement option, mechanic has repaired and fixed plenty, never bought an exhaust yet, but i feel its way past best
what bits to replace and from who, i am near Glasgow for reference but usually internet buy, just a 2.0 so not lookin g performance, just mot pass and some decent lasting solution

Nice looking car you could also try euro car parts glasgow ive had a back box off them and was still fine when I sold the car had quite a few bits off them over the years

If you havent already got the brakes try the dealership they are very competitive for brakes I think they were about the same as else where for pattern parts

Looks like your just down the road too so if you need a hand with anything just give me a shout

Its not the distance that matters, its the amount of time the package is handled ;)
