    What car is it?
    1. Have you tried to Google the answer?
    2. If you were in the other person's shoes, how would you react?
    3. Do you want a quick answer or better understanding?

    While waiting for the replacement, a big jubilee clip all round the rubber will keep it from failing completely and snapping the expensive exhaust.

    When my exhaust supports broke on 23rd December a couple of years ago I could not find anyone to sort it, I went to a couple of garages and they would not even look at it.

    I went to my local Wilco and they had a look and confirmed that it was the rubber supports and only charged me £5 to put new ones on.

    £20 for a set of poly ones that will last forever. Or £19.99 for a set of rubber ones.

    Or £2 from ebay.

    the annoying thing is the exhust which was indeed expensive was only replaced 2 years ago

    89p each from www.buypartsby.com

    I know the search is for a 2003 car but for some reason it won't bring anything up for a 2004. Most strange when the model ran from 2001 to 2006.

    Ask nicely and an exhaust fitter will likely give you a few rubber hangers, if you can't fit yourself any fitter can do this in a few minutes.
    Don’t be a can’t, be a can.
  • Many thanks for all your help guys

    Any exhaust centre will likely fit a new one for a few quid.
