you may recall it wasnt exactly going to see the road again!! It was a shell and a load of bits most of which isnt usefull to anyone.

No I aint welding the exhaust Pete??

Stop the thread drift as well.... its about a split hose... not breaking up cars or welding.

yea I know... I also stated months ago that the car would be off the road for winter and there's no rush. Colin would look at the car when he has time to do so when he does some routine maintainance with his WR.Colin has a dry secure place to keep my car in his garage which I am grateful for his hospitality.

Now that Colin has time to investigate mine he has found a split hose... hopefully thats all it needs and a routine service while we're at it should see it back on the road next month.

god i hope so bud... cant wait to hear that warble again and get it back out on the road.... could be next weekend BUT I am down in Cheshire with a pal getting his RS4 serviced and returning the rear section of exhaust to Amanda and also have a few beers with Amanda.

SO.... roll on Feb then.... then June as Helen and I are driving down to Spain to have a holiday with Colin and Jacqueline so am toying with the idea of taking the WR

here is the culprit hose....




this part is still ok







but what I am having made up is a U shaped silicone hose to eliminate the use of 2 separate hoses joined onto this metal bit of pipe.... how much I hear you ask.... 45 quid


oh and as for the exhaust rear section like Amanda's



ie the 1 on the right and mine is the miserable looking 1 to the left....well I have found someone who will copy Amanda's for me for 180 quid from SS 2.5" with 3" exit pipes and make it identical to Amanda's... collect next week.


I still dont understand why when the engine is warmed up doesnt start again if it stalls then have to wait until it cools down the it will fire up again.... perhaps someone could explain please.

obviously an air leak wont help 1 iota but why the non start up??
