Replace Downpipes, hasstle of a job?

The downpipes on my 1.3 have sheared off at the point of the flexi-join (bottom end). :roll:

Is this the job worth attempting? looks awkward to get in there!

Cheers

Not really that difficult if you have trolley jack, axle stands, spanners etc. Downpipe unbolts from underneath the exhaust manifold, a small bracket on the front of the engine and a small pipe joining it from the rear of the engine.
