Had my 9-3 serviced and the garage noticed the exhaust flex hose was split which seems legit as I noticed it was blowing a bit. Quoted me £900 (!!!!) to fix it as they said it is a single part that includes the catalytic converter. I was pretty dubious about that so brought it home and fired...

I bought my 9-3 convertible last September. The previous owner gave me 3 keys, only 2 of which unlocked the doors. Soon after one of the working keys gave up so we were down to 1. Last week the remaining key gave up. New batteries were tried. It looked like an expensive garage bill. I used to...
