Exhaust rubbers, where to buy?

[Marian]

As title my drivers side exhaust continually falls down and scrapes the ground under acceleration due to (I think) a stretched rubber. Does anyone know where I can buy these?

Regards.

Your local exhaust fitters may be the best bet, a beer token or two and a chat with a chap in the fitting bay normally does the job.

They're Ford ones. Granada, if memory serves.
£1.50 from your local factors, or as Tim says, free if you're friendly with your local KwikFit.

I actually went to a local place last week and they said it needed new clamps etc, so got them changed and 2 days later the exhaust was trailing the ground again Have had a quick look and a wiggle myself and managed to get it up but it looks like the rubber is stretched and needing replaced, will I need to know which year or model of Granada?

Many thanks

When you have fitted them, put a burly cable tie around them to aid support. Last much longer!

Can't remember what year, but look in their book for one that looks like this:

I think they were used on all sorts of Fords from early Fiestas to Transits.

I find the rear anti roll bar stops mine hitting the ground ! took me ages to track down the rattle .

I use a stainless steel jubilee clips around each of mine. never changed the rubbers since fitting them also much easier to get both exhaust tailpipes to your required height and level with each other. One of my pet hates tailpipes not level.
