Evening all!! ;D ;D ;D

No, I've not been nicked yet but not good news either :(

The car failed on emissions. It appears that the exhaust was not welded very well and is blowing. Faulty lambda on passenger side and looks like some welding has taken place where it screws in behind the cat and is also blowing! >:(
Oh, and the centre box is catching the propshaft!!

So, parts list for Father Christmas, with the lottery ticket:

Lambda sensor
Exhaust
Passenger side cat

Other than that, it's ok :-\


Cheers Iain, really appreciated this :y

Dave,

You really do now need to come over to me if you have another car or I'll have to get the parts in my Estate and bring em' over to you to help you out chap, as I have the parts you need.

Just left a message on your answerphone (Mob)... Don't give up with it yet... We can rebuild  :y
