I put extractors, a 2.5" inch exhaust and a single free flow muffler to allow the motor to breath better which helped.
I suppose depending on where the hole was might effect it, as I was told not to go to a 3" exhaust.
Glad to hear that it is running better now.

Thanks Wallaby!....She is booked in for Monday so i will leave him to decide!
She currently has a rear muffler and thats all....is that correct to what she should have???
Pretty sure there was 2 and it was a 2.25" exhaust.
I replaced it with 2.5" and a single muffler, a couple of weeks afterwards I had to put a silencer at the end as it was a bit noisy when you put the foot down.

Thanks mate!...yep I think i will get the muffler guy to chuck in a first muffler....She is a bit loud, but kinda hard to tell with the noise from the small holes :)
I would just put a silencer (or hotdog I think the exhaust guys who did mine called it) on the end.Quote:

I still have the original manifolds in the shed in case they are ever needed.

went out and had a close look...has straight pipe back to a muffler, then pipe out...no real rear muffler to speak of...would have called it more of a middle muffler ;)
Now onto tyres :(....
Looking at all the 5 rims, it would seem that I have 4 x defender rims and one series rim....Is that an issue???
Also, I believe all the rims are 5.5x16, so the fact that someone has put 265/75r16 tyres on it kinda scares me somewhat!!!!
Try fitting it to the County, if it was like mine when I got it with 3 series rims you can't get all of the wheel nuts on properly, luckily I had 4 110 rim on the series 3 so I just swapped them.Quote:

All 4 are on the car!!...I am trying to work out the stamps on them to see exactly what I have!....
Don't know if they are a different offset or something else was different I just could see that it wasn't safe to use as they wouldn't do up all the way.Quote:

I would prefer to find out if it does fit whilst at home, rather than when I needed it.
