Backbox brake off!!!
now the cheeky bit.. I know wanted sections members only, paid up on friday so technically I'm a member again, but can't post there yet soooooo
anyone got a cheap supersprint backbox pretty local to Reading?
Sorry Mods, would have put it in the wanted section honest ops:
also, why does my car hate having a backbox on there for more than 3-4 months :dontknow:
sounds like a right beast now but don't think the police will like me too much, nor will my housemates when I leave for work at 6:45am

My MK1 though went in the middle. The previous owner for some reason only replaced the back box when it was pretty obvious the entire exhaust really needed doing, went about 2 weeks after I brought it, right pain the the a**e to fit as well.

Did you get them from GSF? Mine did that! Then I got some from VW and now have no probs.

What are your engine mounts like Phil? (Front cross member and rear gearbox mounts)
Excessive movement of the engine will put stresses on the exhaust. Normally the downpipe that goes, but if you have an old or cheap system, this could be the cause… :dontknow:
