Freelander exhuasts - without tempting fate mines 7 1/2 yrs old, 81K on the original which seems pretty good. It's doesn't look in bad shape from what i can see.

I'm on 134K now on the original exhaust. Mine is in pretty bad shape - the centre box has been filled on two occasions with chemical metal and the straight section has two 'mr sheen' cans, split and smeared with exhaust paste and then jubilee clipped to the existing pipework.
I have no leaks and the MOT station simply gave me a small advisory for 'repairs made'.
I have seen a cat back full system for £60 on eBay, so will change when uneconomical to repair.
Also I guess it depends upon your journeys - I drive a 40 milee round trip, so the exhaust does get a chance to dry out on a daily basis.
Regards,

Mr Sheen cans, I'll need to remember that. I once had an old Peugeot & used a rice pudding can with the paste & clips but it only lasted about six weeks before the vibrations in the exhaust caused it to fracture through. Aerosol cans should be tougher though.
