So many boxes... so little time.

Dunno ... but ...

I just replaced the rear exhaust box on my Disco, which I admit is a bit different .. ;)

The rear box had actually rotted through at the front of it and fallen off, but with no rear box at all I didn't notice any change whatsoever in exhaust note, so had left it till I got a tuit. However, what I did notice was a distinct reluctance to tow heavy stuff. Normal car-loads (four people and 'stuff') were OK, but as soon as we put the caravan on or the bike trailer and a couple of Trials bikes it didn't really want to know.

New rear box on and full power back again. ;)

Incidentally, cheapest I found was about £46 + delivery .. Local Kwik Fit did it fitted for £54.90, and they had to burn the remnants off, lift the body up, and still had a few problems getting the new one in. I'm seriously glad that for a tenner I didn't have to get under, without a full ramp, and use the grinding wheel.

I'm gonna try and wire my trailer socket up tonight! Feel free to come round and keep the wheelbarrow (and mud) moving while i stop to do the wiring ;-)

odd, seeing as the rear box which just fell off ours is a straight-through absorbtion one, so can't realistically affect back-pressure.

piece of spare exhaust pipe rammed into the end of ours, by way of a tailpipe.

I see the 300 type exhaust doesn't have a separate rear end, buggrem, so you have to have half the pipe an' all to get the bit you want.

Sorry , gotta blow some candles out on a cake tonight :-)

swotithort, but it _did_ make a difference ... and very noticeable too.

That was a consideration, if I couldn't have got one by Saturday morning.

Yup, which, as it snakes about the axle and sus is 'a right bugger' to fit.

Removal's easy though, with a torch .. ;)

So Austin Shackles was, like

Possibly related to length rather than back pressure.

See above.

You should have said! Hope there wernt too many of them! :p

Now thta you have that lift i expect to hear it running by next week!
