New exhaust fitted to the MV6 today and yes all the bolts on the front snapped >:( all drilled out and new system on. Rear pipes are very close just before the back box, was not like that with the other system from Poland for the Elite. :-\ still I'll start her tomorrow and see if I get a rattle :D :y

The one I did today had the pipes pretty close together as well,came from Unipart stockist who had it all on the shelf :o,exhaust came to £151 including some clamps :y

Made the final connections for the lightbar... Have a couple of questions for a Traffic Officer... Will ask the first one to stop me ;D

So far, the PNC checks haven't produced so much as a raised eyebrow...

Yesterday, new rear tyre, as apparently it wasnt round!  ???

Removed duff alternator on the 2.6 LPG saloon ( sod of a job with LPG fitted and the fact that some ass had put the top bolt in around the wrong way), only to find the water pump is leaking. So new pump and time for a cam belt kit as I don't know when the last one was fitted, and the fact that the chap I got it off talks out of his back side. Still can't say to much as I did not give a lot for it. :o :o

Spotted some rust. Serious looking rust. A big enough crusty crunchy patch on the sill that makes me not want to take the plastic sill cover off in case there's nothing left behind it..  :-X
