I, like many other member, have a motorhome based on a Fiat Ducato 2.5 TD. Mine is a '93 model and is in need of a new exhaust system.
Today I have visited four different motor factors in search of said exhaust system. Two said "Sorry mate, it's not listed", one said "There's a '90 model diesel listed and a '94 model turbo diesel listed, they're both the same except for the front pipe so yours will probably be the same, but you'll have to find out which front pipe yours has". The last one said "Nah, they don't make them, I bet even Fiat won't be able to supply one, you'd have to have one custom made". I should point out that this last motor factor was a main agent for Bosal exhausts.
After spending some time searching the internet, I found a company which sell them, provide the Bosal part numbers for them, and have them in stock.
The company is www.leisureshack.co.uk and the Bosal part numbers for the three main exhaust sections are: 713-371, 135-677 & 283-685.
So if, like me, you need a new exhaust for an older Fiat Ducato 2.5 TD, then hopefully this might help to save you from wasting the time and fuel that I wasted today.
Incidentally, the cost for the three exhaust sections and the delivery charge came to a total of just £72.00

Glad you managed to track an exhaust down in the end, however i must say that when we went needed a new exhaust for our 1993 Talbot Express 2.5TD we had no troubles getting one. I suppose our vehicles are getting on a bit hopefully spares won't be too much of an issue in the future.
A friend of mine who has a garage got me a quote of £160.00 for a stainless steel one from his mate who makes them,

we had the same trouble a few weeks back on our tag axle euramobil. it fell off on the m42 going to the lincoln show. ours is a fiat too but the exhaust is enormous. we couldn't source one either so ended up having one custom made in stainless steel. luckily a guy we met at the show had had one made and gave us details of a company and it just so happened it was in our town in south glos. all done in one day at a cost of 270. we were very pleased
it seems cheaper to have one made in stainles,and you know you are not going to need another one again

I've got a new middle & back box for the peugeot j5 2.5 td (1989 talbot express) that I bought for my previous camper (talbot camelot) but never fitted. Will sell for £35.
