If the exhaust, then I would certainly approach whoever fitted it and ask about a warranty repair. If it's part of the car then none of the above advice concerns or has considered that. Check this, it's important.
I had my car looked at yesterday by a different garage so I could get an unbiased assessment. They reckon the bracket is part of the exhaust system so should fall under the warranty. I also asked them to have a look at the power steering problem, and they've quoted me £200 to sort out. Definitely better than £290.

So tomorrow I'm taking it back to the garage that originally fitted the exhaust and hopefully have it rectified as they said they would.

Nice one mel, i can only assume changing the power steering pipe must be a labour intensive job the pipes propably about £50. Least you have saved yourself £100 more spendin money for your travels eh ;)

Yep. Apparently it is a major job getting to the pipe. The pipe costs £30, the rest is labour. Fair enough - I've saved £100 = new pair of shoes:smt041
