While my CDTi 06 plate was parked on the driveway my rear exhaust silence had dropped right down. Because the bottom of the big bracket rusted away totally. The silencer is rusted through behind the bracket. The car is 160k+ and one owner before me used it as a workhorse in a very wet location. So that car is not worth getting expensive parts. Any suggestions on my best options?
Does anyone know, if I fitted a universal back box what would be the minimum acceptable diameter for the inlet to the back box. The ones on ebay seem like 2 inches which is very small. Or is it best to look for a cheap aftermarket system?

Have a chat with Arctic, I believe he has some excellent condition used back boxes that wouldn't cost a fortune

Hi Dave.
I did one got fitted to my tourer, and the other was given to a local chap who likes to drive up and down curbs a lot, which damages the cars drop links, rips off wheel arches and brake and abs sensors as well as back boxes,

I have telephoned many breakers and they have not seen a Rover 75 in years. I use an angle grinder in my driveway and so is this petrol back box on my CDTi be a good way to go? Would I try and cut to slot together? or buy a link section?

Thanks

You can make anything fit with the right connections.

Thanks I have ordered the V6 new one for £57 delivered. Quite pleased with that price. I am now going to work out if I can bodge a bracket that holds it. As the bottom of the bracket disappeared due to rust
