Are fiat Ducato exhausts standard or are they specific to the Motorhome they are fitted to. Today my exhaust came adrift on my Swift gazelle which is a 2000 2.8 ducato. where do I start looking for a new replacement. Any advice would be very welcome.

Many Thanks.

All the manufacturers seem to alter things to suit themselves. We had a quote for £300 for just the downpipe

We ended up with a company called LONGLIFE They are a national chain and specialise in "one off" stainless steel exhausts.

Our complete exhaust system including fitting cost £320 inc VAT

Thanks Tango/Happybozo much appreciate your advice must start looking today.

Happybozo surely your £320 didnt get you a complete stainless exhaust, did it? if it did I'm after one they have a branch in Leeds 15 miles from me.

Ps Your location says Ndidis Kraal, my geography is pretty good but thats got me.LOL

Cheers Tone

It did  The van is now very much quieter. I now notice the road noise rather than the exhaust which was noticable even before the down pipe broke

Ndidi's Krall is where Sir Henry Rawlinson lived. It's a bit like Mboto Gorge where Capt Blackadder won his MC...

Many thanks to all  who helped me, I got fixed up close to home in Knaresborough, it was simply a standard exhaust, although I do have an Alco chassis, Swift must simply use the standard one rather than complicate matters by having fabricated ones. Cost me £180 including VAT and fitted but needed it done quick so I'm reasonably happy.

Thanks agaain Chaps
