Nissan Primera P12 - Centre Pipe exhaust gasket - Nissan Quoted me £30 - squibsquib

  • I have just had my centre exhaust pipe replaced on my early model Primera P12 and the front gasket that goes between the cat and centre pipe was knackered. I got a metal ring gasket with the exhaust but this was the wrong one. The gasket is supposed to be the one which looks like a metal braided gasket. I can't find one anywhere. I called Nissan and they want £30 for it!!!! I also need one of the bolts with the springs where I was quoted £6.00 and thats not including the VAT. Can anyone advise me where I can get this cheaper? Someone out there must know.

    Regards

    Allan

If you have a Partco / Unipart motor factor nearby try them. Similar parts were cheap when I bought them for sons Rover 216.
