I've noticed over the last couple of days that my 1.2 is sounding like a 1.6. I Think I've got a problem with my exhaust.
I've had a look under the car and can see some black smoke stains on the centra box. I guess there is a small hole in it somewhere.
Questions are:
1) Can I get it looked at for free at places like Kwick Kit etc?
2) How much does a new silencer cost?
3) Can I run the car like this or is it best not to?
Thanks,

thanks for that Allan. I think I may take it to Kwick Fit this Saturday.
Shall I spend £44 on a new Cat-back or £240 on a SS centre pipe and back box system?
