quote: Jack up car or better, find someone with a pit or car ramps. Undo the clamp holding the backbox on. Get the rubbers off the backbox. A flatblade screwdriver and a bit of WD40 helps. Then twist, bang, swear and kick it until it comes off. Get some exhaust paste and put this around the end of the pipe. Put new backbox on, rubbers on and tighten the clamp up. Or, Kwik Fit on a Sunday morning.......... | |

The 6x4 was never made specifically for a 1.2! It was 1.4 and upwards, therefore a reducer is needed! Has anyone got any idea where i can obtain a reducer from myself? :S | |

I was £70 to get a s/s centre section made and fitted. They took my back box off my current exhaust and put it onto my new centre section | |

Also, they shouldn't need to mess about with reducers. If it's made for the car, it's a straight swap. | |

Go to kwikfit/ats/national/wherever, on a Sunday morning, when the boss is out, slip one of the guys a tenner and they'll do it. | |

there really is nothing you can mess up its 2 bolts and some rubber bits to flick off its a hell of a lot easier than changing seats the worst you can do is not be able to get it on its not like you can break anything 150 quid is a complete piss take | |

Fit it yourself. Backboxes are really easy to change. As for the reducer joint, im pretty sure they should be readily available. | |
