![]() As my car does me no favours, the exhaust started blowing yesterday and the MOT is due on the 19th October.
If it is the rear silencer, what are my options for a good quality replacement? The DMGRS one looks to be out of stock until December, but that it for a saloon (mine is a 1.8T tourer). The Rimmer Bros one looks nothing like the original and tourer exhausts are out of stock. Would a temporary repair get it through the MOT? |

![]() Hi Martin,
As Vitesse says, yes it will so long as it's no longer blowing. A temporary repair will also buy you some time to source a replacement. Walker exhausts, a long established company, has a very helpful sales department on 0121 609 3047. You'll have to be prepared to travel to a motor factor to collect it though. Simon

![]() I just fitted a Klarius to my 1.8 saloon which is fine.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/For-Rover...0-ad20a0baf01b I bought it from another member who bought it for his Tourer but never fitted it, l don't know why not. I think there may be some body contact issues with the Tourer that you don't get on the saloon. I've had no issues with it anyway.

![]() My back box has a slight blow too, I did a temp repair with a heat resistant paste, Gungum is fine, MOT passed last Saturday with no advisories either, I spoke to the mechanic and he looked at it and said as above, it's not blowing I don't see a problem.
