Hi they didn't want to get involved as an import said cheap if I supplied and they would fit so I just need to know what to buy ???

Re: Failed mot due to rear box help
Quite a few have just replaced it with a straight pipe, without the silencer. Try a local exhaust place to see what they can do

Re: Failed mot due to rear box help
There are dozens of Bongo exhausts one eBay that have the extra section for the winter pack. Some suppliers will sell you each piece seperately or you may be better off replacing the whole lot for £125:

The weakest part in the system is the backbox and if yours is still original then it's just a matter of time before it rusts and falls off.

Re: Failed mot due to rear box help
I bought my rear box from Mazda, it was a while back but I don't recall it being silly money. My Bongo has the winter pack as well.
