Economic to repair?

Click on I am a car owner and enter your details. You will get a picture of your exhaust and it's mountings. I have never had an exhaust fitted by a garage where they have connected ALL the mountings. They leave some unconnected because they can't be bothered. Your exhaust won't fall off immediately if they miss one out. I used to ask to see the exhaust before I paid for it. I would then insist they put all the mountings on. Now I just do it myself. It's cheaper, you know it's done properly and there's no bad feeling.

For someone that doesn't use garages often the ones you have used are all, without fail, very shoddy. What are the chances of that?

Little update - car now fully repaired (complete new centre and rear exhaust needed in the end and a single replacement parking sensor) at a cost of £450 all in. Not bad and much less than I had feared - thank you all for your indications here.

Agreed yesterday to a new XC40 on a post-lockdown heavily discounted PCP, so will now keep the Mondeo until delivery of the Volvo in August and then sell it on...

£450 for the use of a car for 2 months is pretty good, plus you'll get something back when the car is sold.
Hope you enjoy the Volvo.
