As the car was under 50,000 miles when I bought it about 3 years ago I'm trying to look after it and so if I can do any repairs then I'm happy to try.I'm fairly handy and the back track rods look doable if I can find the parts and same for the front.As for the special four wheel alignment that seems to be a specialist job not available in most places but if you know of such a place in the Gloucester area I'd be happy to get it done there.

Sounds like i'm better off just scuffing the front tyre out and replacing from time to time

Hi again,well car went through MOT and one of the front tyres was an advisory as it was quite bald on the inner rim driver's side.So today I got a new tyre fitted and saw an offer at National Tyres for half price tracking so I popped in to find out more.Well it was half price on the front but the back needed doing as well so it would be £45 so I said carry on.When I saw the gas bottles come out I thought he's struggling and soon he came in to say the back was seized and he couldn't do them without breaking them.So on to the front and gas bottles,hammers,chisel etc and a lot of time he managed to move them a bit and earned his £15 but it seems therefore it all needs replacing.Firstly is it a DIY job? Any hints or tips? Parts required? and then after done back and get it all tracked better as the car wants to go left.As always thanks in advance!!!!!

It's the original GM exhaust I presume with 60000 on the clock so it's had a good run.Cat to mid section joint looking quite rusty anything I can do to improve it? Also 1 cat has a whole threw the bottom protection plate about an inch diameter again anything I can do to preserve/repair it before further damage is done?

Thanks DG quite right getting a little jumpy there but the door locking unlocking thing is still present

127
Another problem and hopefully the last the alarm went off on the car a couple of times and when unlocking the car and opening the door it's locking and unlocking itself like a sync issue.When i get in the car the light goes off normally but if I lock the car with key or fob it stays on.Any ideas?

Well I suppose £160 for someone else to do it is pricey I suppose the cat end is the tricky part.Wish I had a pit at least but on your back under 1 set of ramps in December is indeed a challenge.Mind you garage said they would need it all day which seemed particularly extreme!!!!

Well I only have a set of ramps so changing an exhaust would be a tall order and I don't have a garage. A patch I will check out tomorrow  as it's just before the joint on the back box almost touching in fact. Just wondered on brand and price with having 3.2 exhaust twin backbox instead of single/Is the slot out of bumper big enough? etc

And haven't asked but as I own a 2.6 Elite est any benefit in fitting a 3.2 exhaust? or is it the same?

Well I was out fitting the sidelight bulbs as MOT due this month and as the engine was running just popped around the car checking lights etc and thought oh the engine is misfiring but then thought maybe the exhaust is blowing and sure enough it is.Rather a nice rust hole come slot almost on the back box joint but mid section and as the other side was also looking a little rusty about the same place thought I'll phone around for replacing the back half.A very quick look on the internet revealed a price of around £100 for parts so then I thought let's phone around the local fitters and see what prices they come back with.First up KWIK FIT and their price was a not insignificant £380 glad I was sitting down and then another with £325 and finally and old school friends garage quoted £260 for a WALKER'S exhaust with a 3 year guarantee.Just wondered on your thoughts on the prices and quality of exhaust as not chosen yet and I may get under car tomorrow to see if it's worth patching with some sort of bandage!!!

Would it be better to just replace the headlight or would there still be broken parts that need to be swapped over?
