Wanted Anyone got an Exhaust ?

Cleaned up the garage and found some parts you want to sell? Or are you looking for that one part? You can advertise or request just about anything that has to do with the Volvo 480 in here: brochures, towing-hooks, antenna's, etc etc...

Wanted Anyone got an Exhaust ?

Post by ChrisRidett » Thu Oct 07, 2010 8:27 am

Poppys exhaust is blowing around the join between the rear back box and the down pipe. The join is pretty badly rusted at this part, both pipes seem to have rusted and swelled. The Ubolt seems to have rusted and snapped with the swelling.

To do a proper repair I'd like to replace the section from behind the Cat all the way back.

I can probably get the bits from Ebay for ~£50 for the back box and £30 for the long section.

But would rather cross a members palm with silver for a good condition second hand unit - only downside is I know these parts aint easy to ship.

I'd collect if it wasnt too far !

Are these parts specific to the Turbos? My minimal research suggests they are.

Anyone with the bits .....drop me a line :D

Darn.......would have snapped them off you for that if I'd been closer. Already painted as well :cryhard:

Got Poppy up on stands, pipe is worse then expected, significant rust, pipe is structurally weak, will have to reduce driving her till replaced or I'll end up spreading bits all over the roads!

Hopefully Gungum will hold for some of the local journeys I need to do. Have ordered replacements from ebay.

I did some digging to see if I could get them quicker, the prices varied drastically, one place said the back box was normally about £40 but as they only had 1 left .....it was £70 without shipping :shock:

Another wanted £190 to supply and fit, centre and rear. :shock:

And you know the moment you take it in they'll say.....'ohhhhh.... Cat should be replaced too' and if that were the case, chances are Poppy's Exhaust system would be worth more then she is!!!!

Well, heres hoping the bits turn up in one bit ( ok ok......two bits ) ....lol......this will be the biggest thing I've had shipped to work....not sure boss will be too happy. I'll try and get Security to give me a heads up before it reaches the office space !!

Thanks for the offer Dragon, certainly a bargain at that price!
