Right had this car three days now and this is the second problem already noticed today the exhaust looked weird from the back so tried moving it and it dropped off from the middle brace I can see what looks like a metal jubilee clip but this is from a distance as it's pissing it down and can't get under properly yet anyway I pushed the exhaust back to the other section and it slotted on fine held fine looked fine drove home no probs so as Iam a complete noob with cars mechanics is it just a case of tightening said clip as the doesn't look to be any damage imo it's just come loose but thought best to check here first

What you have done is fine, you just pushed the rear box onto the centre section some more, there is quite a bit of adjustment on them.

Just tighten the clamp up again mate.

Been under today and yes the clip as come loose but worse than that it's corroded to hell so needs a new one bought a 65mm u clip but it's not big enough so i presuming its 70 mm the exhaust is a blue flame oval one ?
