My muffler fell off!

[Techniques]

So I had my MOT in august. £500 down the drain :/ Pretty much the same price I paid for the 2000 1.0 W reg. Started hearing a weird rattling noise when I was moving off. Realised my Muffler was dangling from my car. The exhaust connection had completely rusted off.

Called garage for an appointment. The last day journey to work, I try to lift it up so its better positioned and it just comes out... like a loose tooth when you were younger.

Drove to work without a muffler. My 1.0 sounded like a baby muscle car, ohh the embarrasment. I was poo myself aswell coz I think the police can give you a ticket for that.

Ah well, here we go again. I know they say your first car is always the worst, but wow. 1 litre corsas are no joke! Anyone ever had this happen to them?

My 1 litre corsa has been fine since owning it (over a year) the exhausts are only made of mild steel so they rust over time so yours might just have been on since the car was new? Can't expect a lot more from a 12-13 year old car lol

Took it to halfords. £163 for a complete new exhaust and read end muffler. Runs so much better now and I dont have to wince everytime i go over a speed bump
