PS before ya ask Im the muppet that put the downpipe on so I will be having some severe words with myself about leaving em slack :rolleyes:

Sorry Spooks,

I have some wheels nuts you can have?!?!

Brian :D

Maybe try Halfrauds?

Open 'till 8 - useless but someone there may have some buts?

:rolleyes:

never realised that halfrauds were open late, will give em a bash. Cheers Brian

Question, if I was loosing exhuast gasses from downpipe this would only cause noise and me passing oot at the wheel after breathing in fumes correct.
Wouldnt have any other effects would it? Spose Im asking have I damaged my turbo?

Dem nuts are 10mm fine.

Doubt you'll get them in Halfords

Nobles is @£1.25 a nut as I recall.

I've got two here. If ya like?

I stood corrected by the chap at Kenneth Melvilles.

'They're not bolts, sir. They're studs!'

That must make a hell of a difference as i was £5.24 for one! :(

This was shortly after coughing up £22 for the 4 metal pins for the brake callipers! :eek:

Spooks,

I did exactly the same as you. Knew I had a problem when I heard one of the nuts fall off and rattle down the outside of the downpipe while driving :)

Mine was leaking for a while until I got time to get the nuts. Only thing I think it may have done was jam the wastegate actuator as the gases must have dried out the lubrication. Re-greased and have had no problems with anything else since.

As mentioned above, nuts are not easy to find as they are not standard nuts and are brass I think - I presume so they tighten when the exhaust warms up.

Funny how Halfords are called Halfrauds, as they haven't got a patch on Subaru with this. £2 a nut up here in Aberdeen!! but saves messing around trying to get the right thing elsewhere.

Cheers,

Duncan

Thanks for the replies guys, will ask my mate who runs a tyre and exhuast place first of all in the morning if not will nip into Subaru.
Steve if I could have I would have nipped through to pick em up but I was left carless after I found oot halfrauds didny have any
