Drove to Redcar to spend a few days at the Rugby Ground (or more precisely, some 'Dubbing by the Sea' at the Volkspower Festival)
Around 15 miles from destination, engine seemed sluggish and very noisy. Only when revving though so suspected exhaust and carried on....
Had a look underneath after I arrived and yup, the pipe going into the silencer (just behind driver's seat) had totally rusted and dropped off!
Vans only done 135k Kms (~80k miles) so bit early on miles, but is 16 years old so on the flip side, not bad really
Splashed out on-line on new exhaust section (silencer with front and rear pipe sections) this morning to come back end of next week. £51 including delivery (the advantage of pre-emission complications) and with maybe a fiver for a pair of clamps for and aft is not bad at all
