Damn! Looks like you need a new tailpipe too!

Don't know of any GSEs being broken at present, maybe one of Jim's? You could ask anyway

the car just totally stopped on yellow lines on Rocks rd in town sat morn in heavy traffic, and the blessing of the fleet was on, so heaps of people,any way the towie arrived and about 3metres up on to the deck the cable came off and it rolled back into the chain fence,and the small wall behind, just as well that was there or it would have gone into the harbour. As it rolled back one towie was on the drivers side it hit him and laid him out on the road.he was so lucky he didnt get run over as the road is not that wide there.They are paying for repairs so should come up ok with a bit of welding,and paint etc.

all sorted now fuel pump was shorting and leaking, one hose wasnt right and had swelled pulling the connection off just enough so there was a lack of power.The leak was around the crimping dont know if thats common or not anyway all sorted,just bumper too go and exhaust.
