rolleyes.gif Hi all.
My turbo has a blowing exhaust and I found a good source for replacements.
Online Automotive Ltd 08448807878 in Northampton. For example, Cat and front pipe 95 pounds inc vat. UK delivery 10 pounds whether it is a single box or complete system. Delivery to France in 3 days 30 pounds. I went for complete
system excluding tail box as that is recent. Citroen France price for Cat is 600 euros plus. Prices from other suppliers in France are also expensive at over 200 euros per box.
I don't know if Online Auto prices are competitive but I wanted to offer something
back to the forum.

Online automotive are cheap but BE WARNED FROM EXPERIANCE!

They are NOT perfect fittings!! And their after service support is useless!!

The parts are not always compatible. I bought a TCT Turbo exhaust from the cat back, and the back box would just NOT fit the car, the brackets were wrong... but it was the correct part!

So they aren't perfect...

Hi All

Exhausts arrived today as promised with courier ringing an hour in advance as promised so even if silencers do not fit, I can recommend courier - dpd.co.uk who provide detailed and accurate tracking information.

I have not looked at them yet as 3 boxes plus fittings are in on large shrink wrapped bundle which is clean and easier to handle. I have booked car in for Tuesday afternoon and will report back then fingers crossed.

I hope you are lucky with yours. I got one for a ZX and had to weld two sections together because they didn't fit. Mind you I think they were they only people I could find that supplied it.

Success, opened parcel at the garage and all the ordered bits were there.
The existing backbox was recent so I kept that fitted. The cat was fine and new MOT in May confirmed emissions OK so kept that. I had front and central transverse boxes changed, both joints to transverse box were rusty and leaking
just like my estate where I had transverse box changed.

Pleased to say that new boxes fitted without problem in about 30 mins after cooling period. It probably took longer to fill out bill by computer.

So I have a spare brand new cat for the future.
