The pre-cat or other one? If it's pre cat then I've got one but it would have to wait until I've sold the car (hoping this weekend based on the interest) in case the new owner wants it. If they don't want it then you can have it.

Thanks, I'm not 100% sure though.... It's the one with the mesh over the pipe (I presume that's the other one?)

when you say mesh, do you mean wire braid which covers the flexi joint? , it just by the oil sump

It's at the garage so no pics but if it helps it comes out from the left side (passenger) of the exhaust back box and curves round approx 180 degrees (? I'm going off memory here) and is covered in a woven metal kind of mesh

thats the U bend , the mesh is just two piece of heat shield and some rivets.
 
in the picture the bit you want is #8 , pipe intermediate part number 9198449

it has a 3 bolt flange to the main cat and a slip joint to the back box

Does anyone have a spare? Or is new the only likely option?

Why do you need a new U-bend? The only thing that nornmally fails on these are the heat shields...

Just go to a local custom exhaust place and get them to make you a new U bend. It'll undoubtedly be cheaper than a new one from Vauxhall.

Hmm sounds like a good idea. Anyone know any near Halifax/Leeds/Manc? Would they not need the original to copy?
