Rough running due to exhaust leak?

My freelander has always had a bit of a rasp from the back box but didn't really effect it but last night it sounded slightly louder and it was juddering and spluttering when you tried to accelerate so I'm guessing it may have a leak closer to the engine that would cause the loss of power?

I'll take a look if I get a chance today but if its knackered where is the best place to buy a new exhaust?
 
Petrol 1.8

Just been under it and patched up 2 holes in mid silencer and one in rear box sounds slightly better but still has loose baffles in rear box but its still running rough?

Also had the Idle Control valve out last week for a clean since too high tick over.

But even after all that it just splutters and no power when you try to accelerate?

Im more of a diesel man myself but if the exhaust is that bad it might be restricting the flow due to colapsed baffles or even the cat is blocking up maybe?
 
Turned out to be blocked fuel filter. Only problem now is that the fuel gauge wont work properly even though the pump and float are all intact?
 
Yep Pump in tank with float gauge.

It keeps either saying you have 1/4 or 1/2 less than you do then jumps to normal level then 1/4 again. I filled up last night it said full now reads 3/4 so going on the estimate that I can do 200miles before needs a refill for safety.
 
Not that the garage could see. Also it now reads full again?

Are Freelanders usually plagued with electrical faults since the door locks and rear window are now having senile moments and rear window opening or doors not unlocking when it feels like?
