Title: Cats fitted.......Exhaust Knackered
Post by: Jay w on 12 January 2008, 23:43:50: Got the Cats from Markey Mark, cheers mate :y

fitted them today, the front cat to front pipe bolt were all siezed so had to be cut off.

Now fond out that the pipes coming out the back box are completely shot to sh*t, got lots of pin holes and if it lasts the next 500 miles i would be very surprised.
the mid sections have pin holes all over the last 6 inches

so its new exhaust time, this is going to cost me dearly :'(

oh and we found out it need two back tyres as well......

so that's £500 gone

I need to get it ordered on Monday so we can get the car in the workshop next saturday, i'm going to have to bite the bullet on this one.....

My dealer and i have had run ins in the past, :'( i have handed an application form in in the past, got lost ::)

Application form is faxed or posted to Vx Luton.
I was given a photocopy and scanned & faxed it no probs, only other thing you need is your dealer parts code.
I'm on msn if you need more info.
