Question

....will the car be ok? The zorst has just been hit by a brick
and cracked a joint on the mid section, and is a bit noisey now!
Supposed to be doing well lane this sunday, don't really want to cancel, so the question is will caning it on the rollers do any damage(except to the on-lookers) to the engine. Personally I can't really see any probs, but ya never know?!!
Any advice would be appreciated

Can you not use any Exhaust Bandage on it as a temporary measure. If nothing should reduce the noise. Halfords sell it. I don't think its designed to be wrapped round an actual joint but it only costs a couple of quid so worth a try IMHO.

Thumbs up

There must be someone that is going to well lane that has a spare exhaust.You could swap it over before going on the rollers.

Probably going down the bandage route as a temp measure. So I'm also on the lookout for a exhaust, saw one in for sale section, just up my street, but probably gone by now, looks like TSL will be getting my business, again
Must say though, not looking foward to crawling around under the car whilst the weather's like this, so Spen, on sunday bring some ear protectors, you have been warned!
