D2 down pipe removal

[jamesb]

Just when I think I am going to get a few weeks hassle free motoring - the A8 fails its MOT because one of the exhaust flexi joints has split.

Cant be too mad, thats not bad going for a 21 year old exhaust.

I am thinking about removing the down pipe section, removing the old flexi and welding in a new flexi.

Checking the workshop manual it appears if I take the front wheels off I should be able to access the bolts holding the down pipe to the manifold? Can anyone confirm if thats right?

Thanks

James
