I don't suppose I am the only one with a GD300 with a blown exhaust?! Anyone got any ideas on where I might get this looked at and fixed in southern UK?

Exhaust blowing

any one with a welding torch should be able to braise it up.

Thanks, but I have a feeling that it is the flexible part of the exhaust towards the front of the vehicle. If this needs replacing, then I assume it will have to come from Germany?

It will most probably need to come from Mercedes-Benz.

Let me have your VIN and I can look up for part numbers and idea of price.

Since my last message, I have established that it is the gasket on the exhaust manifold, which needs replacing and not any part of the exhaust itself. Phewww! I have found a garage locally who will do it.

Many thanks,
