    Question Exhaust courier

    Can anyone recommend a decent courier for a full exhaust? Its all in one piece at the mo, manifold back so about 3.5ish metres long. All the couriers i found seem to only go up to 2 or 3m

    Parcel2go or myhermes normally good with this type of service chap, of course you will need sizes and dimensions if you where to arrange it all yourself these guys are fairly cheap mix match rep for these 2 couriers I myself never had an issue with them but other people have.

    Checked both of them, P2G won't do 3m and Hermes is max length 1.2m... and tops out as 15kg which I figure won't be enough

    Might do a roadtrip in the Mondeo, it's got just enough clearance with the seats flat. Hmm

    Mark it off to p2g that it's 3m they'll still collect regardless, I have done this many of times mate always worked never been an issue with size being abit off, or failing that if it's not a heck of a trip then driving up there might be easier as you suggested

    Cut it in half and post it. It can be welded back up when it arrives

    The only couriers that you may be able to use are TNT, Tuffnells or nightfreight but we've found that most of the time they volumise the parcel making it ridiculously expensive. I remember at one point nightfreight would take up to about 6m.

    Yeah paisley freight are 2m. I did a few online quotes, cheapest I found (which I think was TNT) was £79 - cheaper to drive up and get it myself

    That was the backup plan, but I think even with cutting it down the weight is still too much. And my welding skills are still rubbish

    This is a company we use at work, I don't do ordering so not sure on the max size but worth a try:
