Melted Exhaust trim! Failing exhaust hanger the cause?

[RichB]

hi Guys

Just got back from a quick spin and noticed the exhaust trim has melted . Can I order these from Renault? do they just unclip?

Got it up on the stands as I needed to find a leak aswell and found this? Would this the cause for it to move so much? the other mounts look ok.

And here is my bodge fix till I can get a new hanger. Hopefully wont melt as I need to drive about 600 miles this week!

Also how easy is it to replace this clamp as its been leaking since a friend fitted my replacement mid section. Also what do i need to ask for when ordering this part?

I think the mount in your 2nd picture has completely failed, and this has made the exhaust drop in this section, resulting in it pivoting upwards at the tailpipe, thus melting your trim.

Your bodge may work, or may melt. Can you tie it up with any wire for now?

Unfortunatly I havent got anything in the toolbox more suitable, im half tempted to drop it off with a garage on Monday am an hope they can sort something same day.
