Went for a 100+ mile drive last night up the A84 from Stirling to Lochearnhead, then along the side of the Loch to St Fillans before cutting across the tops to Braco and back down the A9. For those who don't know, these roads up through the Trosachs National Park are some of the best in the...
There is actually 4 hangers for the back box, the 2 at the rear as pictured plus 2 at the front of the assembly. The 2 at the front are just like figure of 8 bits of rubber, mine were fine. I think the yozzasport is lighter than the original system as there is only one rear silencer.
The centre...
I just sorted mine out over the past couple of weeks, the same setup.
Genuine Parts and pretty much all new exhaust mounts and it is all good, sounds amazing.

Exhaust Refurb Continued...
So a few days on and things have settled down, so it was time to re-visit the exhaust.
It was clear to see the Twin pipes were not hanging correctly.
And on inspection, the reason was clear to see.
So I fitted 2 new rear hangers.
Which sorted out the...
Exhaust Mounting Refurb Cont...
So after replacing the Centre Exhaust Hanger that was an MOT advisory I noticed when I purchased the car, i observed the exhaust blowing and on inspection everything Manifold back looked a bit rough.
I know the previous owner had fitted a decat but removed...
I would buy one from an active member on here, rather than eBay. That's what I did and got an honest well described car. It was 250 miles away so you need to be prepared to travel.
I got them here- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230925030935?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
They are off a Citroen C2 but fit perfectly.
Perfect, thanks. Next time that exhaust mount breaks I will go for this one. Also bought new rear exhaust hangers and a new CAT to Downpipe seal kit. I will get round to all this shortly.
Washer Jets...
Just replaced the rubbish standard Washer Jets with these:
This is a worthwhile enhancement for around £6 delivered.
The Pipes just pull off the back of the old ones, the old ones just push out and the new ones just clip in... 5 minutes.

Hi, I actually got them off ebay for convenience... £3.49 delivered for 10. Sure you could get them cheaper from the Dealers.

Having owned 259 for 6 weeks or so but spent 4 weeks of that abroad working, it was time to sort out the front end of the car. The fog lights were missing and the splitter a mess.
I fitted some new Fog Lights and a Seat Splitter to refresh the front end. I am happy with the result...
My boot lid keeps dropping when open so I ordered some replacement gas struts.
I ordered using my reg number but seem to have received just standard 182 struts as they are too long.
The supplier says they are correct for the car but if I give him a part number he will look at it. Can anyone...
