Ah, I had wondered about this! My plan is similar to what you described, order the part, have a punt at doing it myself and see how I get on.

@Brommers, I don't have a car lift or axle stands, I was planning to scuttle about on my back with the car parked half on a kerb, very high tech.
I've not had a chance to have a proper look under there yet so I think that's probably the next step.

I've set myself on fire three times working on cars. Once was trying to replace the back box on my brother's 10+ year old Nissan Micra, the exhaust being the original, and very dead, factory unit. And that was on axle stands. It's not a job I'll be volunteering to do again any time soon.

I would like to avoid setting myself on fire if at all possible. Does anyone have recommendations for a decent garage/exhaust place in south east London if I come to the conclusion that I'm either going to destroy my car or myself by attempting it myself?
