have a 53 plate fiesta failed its mot today on the rear exhaust hangers

exhaust has been on the car from new and is still in good condtion apart from the hangers

garage is wanting to change the exhaust mid and back box was looking on ebay and seen these hangers has any one else used them before ebay number 190752421683 or should i pay £150 for a new exhaust

If it's just the hangers why do they want to change the exhaust?

Go elsewhere for the work, they're twisting you.

getting they hangers from ebay the day the seller is only 20 mins drive away will update when fitted

hangers fitted £13 and passed mot bit better than a new exhaust

It goes to show that some garages are still robbing gits.

Hey

I have the same issue with my back box and been looking on ebay etc for an exhaust clamp with a hanger peg ....... no no joy.

who did you get your hanger from? was it a parts shop etc...

I saw some volvo hangers on ebay but £15 each seems out ragious....

tried to cable tie it for now.......but melted the cable ties lol.......

didn't think it would be so hot that far back. (next to rear antiroll bar)

You can get stainlless steel cable ties online (normally used for heat wrap) - i used them to hold up my modified exhaust as a "temporary" :) measure - passed the MOT like this, too

cheers guys looks like a plan.

never knew they existed

still would like to find a suitable hanging clamp....

One of these (55mm I guess) is what Im looking for....

its called a Side Bracket Exhaust Clamp

Would a motor factors supply this?

This one might do the trick -

Nice one.... :)

that would do the trick......

just bugs me how expensive these things are....but I supose if trhey are hard to come by you are paying for the availablity as opposed to the value of the product.

I've also used them to hold the flexi (mesh) covering in place on an exhaust where the mesh part had come away from the pipe itself; only problem was that they tended to 'walk' back down the pipe and needed 'fiddling' back up the pipe, just before the MoT. They are good things, and definitely work, except for the 'walking' along the pipe problem, which it looks as if you won't have.

Euro car parts supply the hangers you are looking for, along with many aftermarket hangers and brackets. I changed mine over to polybush universals, and mine flew through it's last mot with them fitted. They are stiff little buggers to fit, but they also remove a lot of the bounce and shake inherent in the softer rubber hangers
