WD40 and a set of decent grips and I never have any hanger issues, without lube it's a bugger but WD40 really slimes the rubber up!

Ah, good point - so I should buy the following:

- 1x ESR2391 | Centre and Rear Silencer Assembly - 300TDI (except Japan)
- Set of gaskets.
- New bolts.
- Rubber hangers (just in case the old ones are perishing).

Yes id also recommend that. I cut my old ones off with a saw grinded the pipe in half took it straight out as the middle join wouldn't come off and then feed the sports exhaust back way in. It looks like it wont go in but it needs the right method and it will slot in. New rubbers bolt her up job done. Let us know how it sounds and performs you will be surprised!

Just undo the vehicle exhaust hangers, only a single bolt on both, remove and then reassemble your rubber to the exhaust and the hanger on the ground and while holding the pipe up bolt back the hanger back simple as that.

No way could I slip the rubbers over the hangers while holding the weight of my exhaust when I fitted it.

brettguise - I'm not fitting a "sports exhaust" and when the new one is fitted I'm guessing it won't sound any different and won't perform any better... right?

If your rear part only fell off as did mine, (without realising it for a few days!) and you search the internet, you will probably find the same site as I did,(sorry can't remember the firm) and get one for £25.00May be only mild steel, but as it is a disco, will probably last as long as many f the other components in our cars which rust like hell.
Even if it only lasts two years, for the price, you can't go wrong.

Well it depends if your de catting and getting rid of the centre box. I would personally.

Right... so I've spoken to Paddock Spares and gaskets are not needed apparently... I assume that is correct?

So... is this everything that I should order?? ...or is there anything else I need?

1x ESR2391 | Centre and Rear Silencer Assembly - 300TDI (except Japan)
2x NV108041L | Nut Locking
3x ESR3172 | Exhaust Mounting Rubber

And... brettguise - I can't find a sports exhaust either... and it has already been decatted.

So... you are saying to search Google for this: "forfookssake"

And are you saying that the stainless steel one is basically a waste of money or sensible to buy??

Ive got one of those "forfooksake" exhausts . It fell off again the other day for fooks sake!

Yep, that'll do it, don't need gaskets if its on cone type joint, otherwise just a smear if rtv sealant on the flange faces is required!

"has to be said that a tuned/coolered 300 with no silencers does sound rather excellent "

Ok I know this thread is a few years old but any info on how to do the above and if it effects emissions for mot and fuel consumption?

?! Really?!

More boost and more fuel mate, and to make more power you will need more airflow.

Google it!
