Hi
So the A2 is in for its MoT next month. Last year a small blow was noted as an advisory. I have mentioned it to my mechanic and the two options are (1) all new zorst with CAT so £££ or (2) welding on a new flexi. Option 2 seems like a great idea but further research shows that this isn't a particularly straightforward job. At £55 per hour labour is it going to be much cheaper than a just putting a whole new pipe on it?
I have seen Mr Exhaust in Reigate mentioned here, are they still a recommended garage? If so, does anyone have any recent costs for flexi welding from them? It would be about a 300 mile round trip to get to them, but our A2 is hitting around 70 mpg at the minute, so would only be about £30 in diesel to get there
