Looks like a new exhaust may be needed (2.1 DJ) not sure whether to go stainless steel or not
Anyone know of any good places to get the work done around Dorchester Poole Bournemouth?

Re: Exhaust Recommendations Dorset
I can't recommend any. Google comes up with several in Dorset. But If you intend on keeping your van I suggest investing in a S/S system. There are a few companies that can supply them. I bought mine from JP exhausts. They used to fit them but problems with snapped exhaust bolts means they now only supply them. You need to factor this in when considering a new exhaust.

Try this firm? Personally l would only buy the SS from Brickwerks. Expensive but it shares the same bolt together with flanges fittings as the original steel version. Far easier to dismantle if needed.
I have a a JP (?) and it has never fitted correctly and a pain to dismantle as it slides together in a jigsaw puzzle way. And the clamps are constant getting replaced.

Stainless VWSpeedshop exhaust should do.

I'd second this - I have one, just bolted on and that was that. Sounds nice too.
As below though, snapped studs are a big issue if they happen, so a lot of people don't want to touch it or charge silly money.

Reverse the silencer bracket tab is the only thing I normally change, otherwise perfect.
