Hi all,
I am new to here.. wondering if anyone can help or advise. I have a 2003 Honda Accord Type S - always been a great car but have encountered a big problem having failed an MOT yesterday.
It failed on "Middle pipe by splits off to back boxes exhaust has major leak of exhaust gasses". Now the garage I took it to said this was £1,200 to sort as it probably needs a new exhaust system (excluding CAT) and that they could only source this direct from Honda (genuine parts) because it is such a rare engine (2.4).
Also a couple of hundred quid on other bits, but the car is only worth around £1,400 so border line write off. Keen to keep it if possible as has always served me well.
Any advice appreciated.
Tom
