Bloody exhaust,took the car to a mate whos got a garage because it was blowing (I thought) at the joint between the cat bypass pipe and the down pipe and found that "you cant get better than a so called fitter" have ripped virtually all the way round my down pipe!
Theres about 1" of metal holding the thing together and could have been VERY dangerous if it had snapped,of course they are saying its not their fault.....t***ers.
Anyway,I need a stainless steel welder anybody know of one round the Leeds/Bradford area because I cant drive the car far incase it snaps.
I will never ever take my car to these muppets again!!!
Cheers,
Andy
