Buy something like this:
http://www.tascaparts.com/oem-parts/...ItNWwtbDUtZ2Fz Then bring it to a good exhaust shop for installation. I showed this to a local muffler guy (as my rear muffler is molting heavily) and he said he'd gladly install it. That £100 kit might be cheap. I don't know.

I'm about to venture out in the cold to clean the C30, sizing up some marigolds and warm water as a potential 'less nippy' alternative...
Happy New Year to all! |

Kwik Fit can't fit, local independent wants £305 for a pattern part (rear box only), even my regular Volvopartstrade chap on eBay, from memory, doesn't do exhaust parts. This is fast becoming eye-wateringly expensive.... |

Good info for those who need to find their trannie dipstick.
Funnel fit? Get a regular, cheap 4" to 6" funnel and extend it with 200 gto 250mm of 5/8" ID clear tubing. Heat an end in boiling water. Stretch the clear hose on the funnels nose. Voila', instant confined reach funnel. Last edited by Georgeandkira; Jan 4th, 2019 at 03:40. |

Just did 13 hours straight behind wheel, and stopped for a nap. I'm somewhere between Berlin and Hanover.. I think..

Ok, so bad and lazy me, condemning the exhaust just because it was hanging at an odd angle and made a crispy crunchy sound when I pushed it back into place, exactly as if the joint had rotted through and the pipe was falling out of the box.....
Actually turned out that the mid-hanger had rotted right through and the tail pipe hanger was the only thing holding it all up, and that had rotted through as well, hence the crunchy noise when I pushed it back in to place. Ten notes for a mid-hanger repair bracket, a few blobs of copper grease, just in case I should ever want to remove it again, and a couple of cable ties holding the tailpipe hanger together till I can get a new bracket with the nice dog leg arm on it, and bosh! Job done. Had I waited of course, then the whole thing would have come down, possibly punched a hole in the floor and certainly damaged the day of any port sod unlucky enough to be following me. Lesson of the day? Just because you've spent 4 years waiting for your exhaust to fall off, don't just assume that it is dead when a few quid's worth of bracketed will see you sorted. |
