Really need a favour!
« on: October 24, 2010, 10:02:39 PM »
Hi

My exhaust Y pipe decided to crack on the motorway tonight. It had been welded up before but they havn't held. Has anyone near Edinburgh got a Mig welder and a grinder I could get a shot of? The parts need to come off the car anyway so I can come to your place if its easier?

Thanks chaps!

Steve

Hi
I'm just outside Polmont at the J4 M9. FK2 0TT
I will be about tommorrow and Tuesday if thats any help.

I also replied to a post you have on the LRO forums about the RRC springs you have. Do you have a full set of front and rears? if you have I would be interested in them.

You can let me know

Cheers
Graeme

Hi mate. GOt an Arc welder at Kinross but don't ant to risk blowing a huge hole in the pipe! I am in Edinburgh at the moment as well so it's only really as far as I can persaude a mate to drive me unfortunately! Thanks for the offer though  :)

Graeme, I have the front springs only I'm afraid. Thanks for the offer of the welder, tomorrow is now a bit busier than expected otherwise it would have been ideal. Is Wednesday a possibility?

cheers
Steve

Wish I could buy a new one! Its a sports system tht I cut off a scrapper, then had to modify the Y pipe to fit my car. Was my first go with a MIG so not overly surprised that it hasn't been a permanent fix :D

Plan is to make a new Y pipe soon, but until then its a make do with what I have got job.

Hi
Wednesday after 7pm would be ok with me. Or thusday after 7pm or Friday morning/early afternoon.
Even tuesday night would be ok if that suited you better?
How much would you want for the front springs?

Cheers
Graeme
