replacing exhaust

[stefan442]

My 3rd and 4th section has rusted off... so I am going to replace all 4 sections. No point buying the last two for 90 when I can replace whole lot for 125.

Is there anything else I could do whilst I am under there?

Diff oil
Transfer box oil

I'll check the fact sheets...

I assume this is ok for my 97 2.5 td?

Is your Bongo a winter model, with 2 batteries and a switch, with a picture of an engine on it, near your right knee?

woo, lucky me! I nearly bought it, thanks for that!!

Maybe ill just get the rear two sections then! First section was quite rusty though!

Hmmm, by the looks of it the rear two sections are identicle. (flexi and silencer)

should do the job?

why does the bongo need two silencers? the 40-200 and 40-500 on http://lushprojects.com/bongopartsmk2/c ... o=.html#12

right... changed exhaust! A couple of things...



This bracket i had to angle grind one of the studs to get the 2nd section off.... at the time i didnt realise it was welded on. I might be able to drill out the stud, or just buy a new one?

It bolts on between the first and 2nd flexi section, i have just put some m12 bolts in for now. Seems pretty sturdy.



This bracket wasn't bolted back, and there is a big hole behind it! What is this? I have bolted it back into place now, it holds the first solid section from engine.
