Exhaust Fixed

After some messing about, the exhaust on Kiwi is fixed. Sam ordered the parts and tried to take the old one off. It was a horrible wet day and Sam got soaked trying. The two bolts holding the exhaust were so rusted on that we ended up taking it to a garage. The garage said they would fit the new one for £40 but when they came to do it we had the wrong part.This was because Kiwi was made on the cusp between a change in parts.
Sam went the next day and swapped the part for the correct one and fitted it herself. Total cost £80. Cheapest quote for the whole job including parts - £160 local garage, most expensive - £240, Kwikfit. Saving of  at least £80, even including the £10 we paid the garage that took the rusted nuts off!
