Well that was fun. This afternoon I have been changing my nearside Catalytic converter, and lambdas.

Just about every nut I look at was seized, rounded, mullered... 

It's taken me about three hours, to do this job, on and off.

Not because I couldn't do it quicker,  but, because I've been taking my time about it, giving things a good soak in penetrating spray, and drilling out the bolt holes for the mid sections, etc.

The downpipe nuts were particularly worrying - almost round. Thank the lord for Irwin sockets!!

Now done, sporting a nice decent GM cat, with nice shiny new (non rounded!) downpipe nuts!!!

Sounds much better than the old, holed one! Just need to get a new cat back exhaust, and I'm almost ready to present for MOT now!

Done it myself a couple of times,not a pleasant job.
Question is though - did you have moral support,and if you did have it,was it because you actually needed it or did it just happen anyway.

what you doing exhaust wise? Eternal or going Stainless?

Would have thought it sensible to fit the cat back section at the same time...?

No customers in there Pete.

You lot really have got it in for me, haven't you?

Well yes it would, if I actually had a cat back section here.

I had to do something to stop it sounding like a tractor in the meantime.

Don`t rise to their facetiousness James

I have lost count of the amount of times I have given up days, weekends, whatever to assist members who are in trouble with their Omegas, doing top quality work that dealers would charge a fortune for - for absolutely nothing, other than the cost of fuel.

Regardless of what any members/moderators/admins think, and regardless of any of my downsides, over the last 4 years, I have put a HUGE amount into helping this forum, and it's members.

I now feel that, based on the attitude of many people against me here, it's time it came to a stop.

Rightly or wrongly, oversensitive or not, I no longer feel welcome, or part of a "happy" community, like it used to be.

I think it's time to hang up my torquewrench.

[Lazydocker]

Not sure what's going on TBH James, perhaps the change in the clocks

Do what you have to do

[RobG]

Think you should search out this wooden spoon that`s being used James and ram it right up certain backsides
