Well..

Started the car up this morning in the garage "sounds a bit throatier than usual", I thought reversed up the drive and drove away. The resonance (sp?) in the car was deafening. Pulled over and opened the door, and all the engine noise was coming from beneath the engine. Drove to work (about 15miles) by the time I got ther it was deafening. Opened the foor and revved, sounds like a nascar! Looks like the exhaust has either split or snapped??

Damn, so that's what I'll be doing this weekend. Hope this is covered by warranty. Only had the car 4 weeks this weekend.

Strange as I initially thought it was coming from the head....

Cheers

admoss - Thanks for that! Had been looking at a few T350's, and couldn't decide, then I saw what is now mine, in Chameleon Green, and I think it really works on the car. I just couldn't resist it :-)

Car is booked in at Mole Vally tomorrow (not bad customer service that!), so fingers crossed. I am assuming it will be a replacement rather than welding??

Must admit, it sounded a bit like my Chimaera when I got to work ;-)
