Bongo Fury

Hiya guys,
My v6 exhaust is blowing from the twin pipes at the front , does anyone know where i could source a new one please ,I've looked on the websites but cannot see the bit I need .
TIA

Oh , does the v6 coolant need bleeding like the diesel, sorry for the queries, I've only had diesel bongos up to now , any advice on v6 petrol would be much appreciated

You might need to ring a few of the spares places up to find the V6 front exhaust down pipes, rare!
Yes the V6 needs bleeding same as the diesel, unless vacuum filled of course, having said that you don't hear of many coolant bleeding problems with the V6.

Thank you so much for the reply , I think I might need to go with second hand pipes, wanted new ones though

Out of interest what part has failed and why ?

There's exhaust gas leaking from the joint of the pipes before the cat, where the down pipes meet

We've got them before from our Mazda main dealer, Vospers. We phoned them. The parts were always on 'back order' which meant it took from a few days to a few months to arrive.

It doesn't just need a new gasket ? https://www.lushprojects.com/bongoparts ... no=.html#9

Not sure ,I put my hand under the joint of the 2 pipes and I could feel it blowing, I've not actually been under for a close inspection
