Next up was the exhaust -
Been blowing really badly since I got the car- turns out it was due to the fact that the front section of pipe was in no way, shape or form attached to the rest!
it had been previously bodged with jubilee clips and a roll of metal.
Nae stuff in stock to fix it today, so faffed it back together as well as it could be.
A replacement appears to be about £50 - again, swearing at bolts is the likely issue
