Exhausting Work

Been busy today, tail of the exhaust was getting a bit frilly...



Welded a new part on, handy I know a guy with a tyre & exhaust centre, got some new pipe   I could fit the wee tail trim again   



Fixed the ns light, more good Daihatshit wiring   

Wee van is ready to face 2014 now

My tail pipe is entirely detatched from the back box (and the van)!! I will fix it... one day.

Hello Yam in the background

I have no tail pipe at the moment, but I do have a nearly new complete back box to fit.

Most that turn up have a missing tail pipe.

Ours fell off and rattled across the axle last year and after running without it for a month or so I welded a slightly bigger bit of tube over the top and then welded that back onto the back box and still running it even passed the MOT.

Turns out I looked at Gumtree oneday to search for "Hijet"

And there it was - a nearly new 1.3 exhaust system in a town next to me for £20!

Yoink! Mine

I've recently fitted a back box and tailpipe section that came from ebay for £110. Kwik fit wanted over £900 as they claimed they couldn't do the job without wrecking the cat and the O2 sensor so they would have to be replaced.

Funnily enough, though they couldn't do it with all their ramps and multi £000 tools I managed it at the side of the road with a socket set and open ended spanner.

Yeah, but did you also fit 4 new shox, a full.set of brakes and new wipers.....

They wouldn't have had a big enough piece of paper if they'd quoted for that. Far too many 000s   

Anyone with a welding rig want to come round and put my tailpipe back on
