Hello

The exhaust just fell off of my wife's Rover 214. The car is only 4 years old, but anyway:

Is Kwik Fit okay for this kind of thing or am I going to get ripped off?

Steve.

I used to know a guy who was a Kwik Fit Fitter.

Did you know that there are two ways to fit an exhaust to a Mondeo estate?

There's the "customer watching" way, where they have to disassemble bits of rear suspension.

And there's the "customer gone shopping" way, where they cut the exhaust in two, slip it over the suspension and weld it back together.

Steve,

Try Freeways in Southborough. Avoid Kwik Fit at all costs.

Chris

Edited to say - or go to TyreWeb opposite the Greyhound Pub - all the way down Camden Road (past the Grosvenor Garage) then right at the lights.

The car is only 4 years old
They usually last about 2years on those things. You did well IMO

I'd fashion my own exhaust out of paper mache (SP?) before letting kwik fit loose on my car

I agree you've done chuffin well to make a Rover exhaust last 4 years!
