that's good to hear that you think it just fell off thought they way you said that some scum bag had pinched it.

hope you get it sorted out soon

Thought the same thing. Would baffle me if it did fall off as that's ford's fault.

Maybe it was stolen, I have no idea! The car had a long history before we got it so it could have sustained some damage... As I said it all looks pretty corroded so it wouldn't surprise me if it was just down to wear and tear. Don't think Ford will honour the warranty 12 years on!
I have ordered a new Mongoose cat back from Collins as Mrs P would like a bit more noise!

Thanks!

The Mongoose exhaust has now been delivered - it was so well wrapped that it took me about an hour to unwrap! It is being fitted on Tuesday.

Looks like I can say the exhaust must of fallen off with the rust on it. Hopefully the mongoose one is better rust protected and sound nicer.

Thanks - it looks and sounds great. It's not much louder than the stock exhaust but it has a lovely low burbling sound.

Love the car, did you get an advisory on the exhaust, it looks like it was a hell of a mess.

There was no advisory on the MOT. I'm quite surprised that it wasn't flagged up.

Surprised at that, then again they missed a broken coil spring on my Renault Trafic, did inform them of this error on retest for other issues.

Let's be honest,  we need to be safe.

Fanta continues to run really well and the new exhaust has a great sound, it rumbles nicely but isn't too obnoxious. The wheels were desperately in need of either a refurb or replacing. After much deliberation and research (which included inspecting every orange Focus at Ford Fair) Mrs P opted for some Bola B1 wheels in Gun Metal. I think they look great against the orange.

I think that's a good choice 👍. Would love them either in gunmetal or bronze on my fiesta 😍
