I went to fit a back box that I bought from the dealers near me and I noticed a couple of issues with the new back box, one the inlet flange is not welded on at the correct angle. The centre just about sealed on the flange.

The angle new and old.

The worrying bit the hanger isn't welded right, the weld on the box has come away and the hanger is partially broken.

Also there is a crack where the steel has been folded.

I took the box back to Peugeot, I wanted to change it for the other they have a part number for but they said I had to order a new one the same then they'd take it back and send it to Peugeot for them to decide or book the car in to the service department for them to take a look at it. So the car is booked in for tomorrow. If the mechanic say it's ok I'll be charged £80 p/h lol. If I buy another and they send this box away and Peugeot say it's ok I'll be left with two boxes.
I told the guy that the box it not fit for purpose and I'm allowed a refund because of this but he said it's there procedure.
I'm going to show the mechanic the photos before he takes the car, if he say he needs to take a look him self I'm think of just taking it off myself and giving it him. I really don't want to be stuck with this dodgy box and have to pay another £80 on top.
What do you guys think?
