Blown exhaust?

[ramblinman]

I was driving between Nottingham and Mansfield this morning when I started hearing a noise the Bongo has never made before. Hard to explain but a throaty buzzing sound coming from the back left hand side. It increases when I am excelerating but the Bongo is running well with no noticable change in performance and the actual engine noise appears as normal. I suspected something wrong with the exhaust so managed to sneak off work early and drop it in at the tiny garage I use down the road. The mechanic rang me later to say that 'the exhaust is blowing somewhere' and he will put it on a ramp tomorrow to check it out (it really is a small garage and they dont have one).

Now the thing is is that I am driving to the Isle of Mull on Friday! Thats roughly an 800 mile round trip from Nottingham. I am hoping that if a part need replacing I can order off the internet to be delivered the next day by courier. Anyone know who is the most reliable to despatch for next day delivery? If I did not manage to get sorted in time would it be too risky to set off on a long journey. The Bongo is running just fine, just a bit noisier than normal!

Is it just the back box or does it need a middle section with the flexi joint?

Once you know what you need call the Club Shop on 0114-2550836, explain your situation & they'll pull out all the stops to get it where it needs to be the next day.

Hi Ramblinman, just seen your post. Recently changed my complete exhaust (low mileage) for a MIJ Stainless system, so I've got all the bits here in Loughborough. Conact me and I'm sure we can get you sorted asap

Ahh just realise that Regor is an alternative spelling for Roger!
