Clam off tonight, it isn't the manifold but the down pipe.

Fcuksticks.

What downpipe did you have fitted?



Update from Chez Techie

Front clam off. But stainless fixings are no good if the fcuking stupid captive bolts they fit into disintegrate or turn into a blob of rust. Coolant all in all of the moulded sections on the top face of the crashbox. I've definitely got a leak.

2Bular downpipe. I am sure Jim would happily put it right but time is against me big time and I cannot risk sending it off not to get it back in time. I take it you have a rad Matt...

[techieboy]

Yep, same as that with the ProAlloy rad. If I had the time, I'm sure Wayne and Alex would sort it for me. But I haven't, so new one on it's way to me at this very moment. Oh I do so love a fraught build-up to a Euro trip.

How much?

Thanks for the offer Joe, I hope to get it sorted pronto. You would need to take it off your car though wouldn't you..? I think that would be the last resort come Wednesday.

Any gearbox fitters out there with sod all to do next Wednesday?

[The Batman]

I might be available although would prefer doing it another time when it's not so time/part restricted! Take the exhaust off If ya want, only 13 bolts clam isn't on yet either Probably do me some favours but I need it back

[techieboy]

Sling it in the boot, we'll do it at the hotel.

Do you want paying Wednesday Joe...?

Why would lending me your exhaust do you a favour? I am baffled. Hehe, baffled, geddit?

Paying for what? I'm not selling my exhaust?! I can probably get the exhaust off tomorrow eve. Do me a favour by testing the exhaust and I'd it needs to be bigger I can send it back in a couple of weeks.

Paying you to fit a gearbox.

Does your zaust have a cat?

[The Batman]

Na has a silenced decat Can we agree on fitting the box another time?!

[Mike (Cliffie)]

Can't use a decat without a cheater and will not be mapped for it sadly. Can we agree that I pay you to help me fit the box? C'mon, you felt the shift, you have to make an appointment to get it into 3rd.

[The Batman]

Map will be alright, just delete the code every 50 or so miles... Either that or take the downpipe to powerflow or somewhere similar to get it welded up. Na I will sort ya out with the gearbox, just cutting things well close mr Cliffie, its your cables not the thebox that is the problem imo

[Sticky]

I can help with gearbox fitting if Joe is not available. Can arrange my evenings next week to suit.

[The Batman]

I will also you gay egg, let me see if I can book some days off

[Mike (Cliffie)]

Plan to take the pipe to Powerflow, hope they can sort it. Cheers for the offers, I will take you all up on those.

[Mike (Cliffie)]

Wahoo, downpipe welded, lovely job.

[techieboy]

Result. Glad it was as simple as that to sort.

[Seb.F]

If I can manage to get my car fixed up in time for tuesday, I might be able to help out if you need it, but I'd need to know which day if I'm taking a day off.
