Hi all,
Fitted a Britpart back box to the 02 Td4 in August 2013 to replace the blowing original one. 16 months later, after noticing a blowing noise again from the exhaust for a month or two, I went under to investigate. It was the back box again. I felt around the box for the leak, and my hand went straight throught the steel, like it was made of potato crisps.
Phoned LR Direct, who initially claimed it was out of the 12-month warranty
Phoned Britpart, who said it was within the 24-month warranty:censored:
Had to return the entire thing at my own expense pending assessment. :censored: I spent a sweaty two hours plating up the old box, which thankfully I had kept.
On reflection, that exhaust probably lasted less than 12 months. Should we not expect an exhaust to last longer than an oil filter? The car isn't worth a genuine item, so what brand is good? Bosal?
