Bit of camo paint and they might not notice, if you slipped it in to the big garage!!!

Exhaust joints are a right pain, when I did mine I tried oil, blow lamp and a nut splitter, none of them worked. Even the nut splitter broke! I ended up giving £20 to the local exhaust fitter to do it on the ramps with oxy-acetylene and an impact gun.

MOT Passed with no advisories, They replaced the exhaust for £20! What a difference, even in wet. Power delivery is incredibly smooth, traction can struggle to lay the power down in 1/2/3 with torque-steer which is a new experience for me in the wet, shouldnt be as bad in the dry! Instant throttle response, and it sounds sweet :)

Happy man :)

Still scared of touching electrics, I use spanners! Need a volunteer to fit my vis indicators :p

The viz is easy to fit mate, I can give you a hand. I did mine last week.

I could pop over when you are free if you want or vice versa, I have means of paying for help in cash, brews, or ciggies lol :)

Car electrics scare the **** out of me!

Always amazes me why they put the gearbox filler hole horizontal, doesnt make it the most simple task to refill them. Although guess fluid change isnt required by service.

Nice pics mate and like the gearbox drain pics going to tackle that this weekend myself so now know what exactly to look for.

When I filled my gearbox I attached a piece of washing machine hose to the bottle and squeezed it down that. It is a right pita.
