Driving home from a job today and the fecking exhaust on my Benz falls off at the end of the downpipe, making it sound like a bloody narrowboat

Get's home to find out that the small blow on the wife's car's zorst has transformed itself into a completely rotten weld where the downpipe goes into the centre silencer

Then at about half ten I get a phone call of my Mum asking if I can nip up in the morning because her motor has started to sound really loud and she's going on holiday in it on Saturday morning



Still, on the bright side, at least I only have to pay for two out of the three

**** me... that is unlucky mate!!

I'd be pushing for a multi-buy discount from the thieves at Kwik-Fit.. specially if you're buying an exhaust for a Benz..


Cheers,

Get the 'benz 'zorst from German Swedish Fench, should be cheap as chips.

Actually the Benz's is turning out to be the cheapest, from euro car parts rather than gsf, but cheers anyway

The wifes MX5 is looking like the dearest at the minute, unless anyone knows of a 'jap car parts' or somesuch?

Mums car turned out to be a broken clamp so that was an easy fix

Fer ***** Sake Finally get the Benz's exhaust all sorted this week, and bugger me one of it's chuffing front balljoints disintegrates

Fortunately I was almost at a standstill so there's only some mild damage to the wing that'll straighten out, but because MB went from pressed in balljoints to 'sealed for life' wishbones before my particular 124 was built I have to shell out £130+vat for a complete arm, as opposed to £10+vat for a new joint

Trouble is if things do come in three's, I dread to think what the **** is gonna fall of it next
