    VR6 Exhaust/Engine troubles

    Hi all,

    Just wondering if someone can diagnose a problem that startedf for me today.
    While creeping along riding the clutch in second gear, the car nearlly stalled. Suddenly the engine started running on fewer cylinders. I assumed it went into 'limp mode' or whatever it is where after a while it comes good again. But alas, it hasn't. Then I noticed it becoming smelly like something was burning. I had a look under the car and found the resonator next to the gear lever was glowing red hot.

    Any ideas what has caused all this fuss and how to fix it?
