Does anyone know how the 1.9TD Xantia back silencers differ between the hatchback and estate?
Looking on the internet, the obvious difference is the rear-most hanger, towards the middle on the hatchbacks, outermost on the estate. Other than that they look pretty similar - are there great differences?
I'm asking because the estate one is £50-plus but I can get a budget hatchback one for about half price.
It's typical isn't it: I ordered a cheap decat pipe yesterday and by the time I got home the joint to the silencer had fallen off! So now running in TD-Sport mode without a silencer.

Ah, excellent Richard. That would account for the price difference. The relative size wasn't obvious on the drawings I saw. I was hoping to find a smaller silencer as it clearly doesn't need the giant fitted, but it's no good if too short.
I'm disapointed at having to buy a £60 silencer when the car is fine; running at the moment with the cat and then a straight through pipe. Noise is a burble and muted enough at speed. I don't know if this will still be the case when the cat is replaced by a non-cat pipe
I think I'll hold off the order for the estate silencer and see. There's no point in restricting the exhause flow any more than is necessary...

I quite agree with you Anders, hence my initial questions. And given the fact that the TD isn't noisy without a rear silencer, I'm even more loathed to pay-up and get one!
