-Bradders- Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Ok so im on a south west road trip im 700 miles in and on my last 2 night stop off in winchester. So far been salisbury 2 nights devon 4 nights in a lodge with a hot tub been cornwall during the days and now on route home we stopping at winchester for 2 nights at the premjer inn. Unfortunately after a spirited pull off onto the a303 my exhaust has now decided to sound like a tractor its came apart at the backbox i can see where its blowing. Luckily im 2 mins from a halfords but dont fancy buying all the tools when i have everything i need at home. Just wondering if anyone local has a jack an axle stand and a 13mm spanner (i got a socket) i will go grab a new gasket from halfords. No rush either today or tomorrow? Even sunday morning before i check out if poss lol if not ill take it to a garage locally so if anyone knows one tht wont try ripping me off that would be great too! Sorry for no paras im on my phone. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grundy Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 All my tools are in my old house which is rented out So no access to Tools I'm afraid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Unfortunately a gasket will not fix it as it will most likely be corrosion at the joint between the mid pipe and the rear box. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 If you look on Facebook - Southcoastworkshop - Based in Emsworth Only about 20miles from you. They will rent out their ramp to you at a really good price. Great work shop too! He will lend you the odd tool you're missing. Give him a call and explain the situation. It's where I went to change my exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Bradders- Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 Matt i repkied on fb, its a bit far just to do 2 bolts and a gasket i can probably do it without the ramps if im honest as the arse is up on the zed lol. I can see where its blowing from might just try tighten up the bolts see if it helps. It drives fine just sounds like i got mani only exhaust lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
