Which one Scotty the triangular rubber bolted to the chassis or the rubber drop mount.

It is a rectangular piece of rubber about 85mm in length and 5mm thick attaches to the rear back box to a hook on the inner rear wheel arch.

I have bought a pair of these of e bay but could do with on today. Looks similar to this

If you want a temporary fix a couple of heavy gauge cable ties adjusted to the correct length will get you on the road today, or Halfrauds usually has a selection you could get by with, but they may be too thick to squeeze against the body mounted hook.

Halfords sell a rubber exhaust strap that you can use. You'll need to shorten it and put a new hole in one end but I've been using them on mine for a while.

Yep +1 for the Halfords one.
Just hold the old one next to it as the template, drill a 10mm hole for the hook.
For a huge toptip, its an absolute biatch to stretch over the hook and takes the strength of Garth along with 20 sets of hands.
To make life a hell of a lot easier, just undo the two nuts holding the hook to the car, slide the strap over the hook and screw the nuts back on. Sounds obvious, but had I not seen it being done by a local garage when I lost my strap last month, I'd have never thought to do it!

Cheers guys used a metal cable tie and it worked fine for the day, will fit the ebay ones when they arrive.
