Wheel Quick got me out of serious poo yesterday and today
The story goes that my exhaust started vibrating on something and on inspection I found that the pipe that enters the rear box had sheared
then looking closer I discovered the middle flexi section was all perforated
so I decided I would order a full system and ended up ordering one off ebay. Whilst I waited for it to arrive I stripped off the middle and back sections - it didnt take long as most of it just fell off ( rust ). When the new system arrived I took the front pipe off and lay both systems side by side to compere them and they looked the same
- when I offered up the new front pipe I found it was too short
It was just over 1.5 inches short - made 1st phone call to supplier - refitted old front pipe and offered up new middle pipe - found the flanges where at different angles
- made 2nd call to supplier and it was agreed to return the system for a refund .
Phoned mike who said to bring the old system in - took it to Mikes in the wifes car - and he would sort something out it turns out on further inspection that the front pipes on vans with the winter pack (exhaust valve ) on are longer and replacement front and middle sections will not fit.
Mike was able to get around the problem by supplying me with a used front pipe without the valve on and a new middle and back section.
Got it home and one hour later and some new gaskets job done.
So to Mike and Stu a big thankyou for getting me out of this predicament and the saved me money as well.
If I had all the money I ever spent on my Freda ............ I`d spend it on my Freda.
