Hi
Over the last couple of years I have had to patch up my exhaust, first time i took it to a local garage who tried to order the main pipe running the length of the car, the one that arrived didn't have a place for the lambda sensor, he said that it must be a uk variant (i am in France with a UK vehicle) and that I would have to get one from Toyota, they quoted 1100€ so I patched it up, likewise when the rear exhaust clamp rotted away.
Later this year I have the opertunity of a van coming from the uk so I am wondering about getting one brought over. So I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of sourcing one and verifying exactly what parts I need, also should I replace the manifold/cat at the same time.
Previously someone here sent me a link to someone who does very good exhausts in stainless, but a bit out of my budget, also I don't do big mileage and the roads dont get salted like they do in the UK.
I have found some complete systems on ebay for around the £400 mark but difficult to know what the quality is like, the van will be comming from the Newbury/reading area.
Any thoughts welcome.
Dave
