Are you still driving for a living

If its only going to be an hour or so of welding then surely the gaffer must use someone to the servicing

Sounds like he wants you to pay him to work for him

Do you have breakdown cover

Will they tow you to a garage to get it welded.It happened to me years ago with an old o rion i had.Exhaust split in 2 and AA tied it up and i followed them to a garage and had it welded for about £40.Lasted till i sold it on

Well it fell off on way to work early one morning. I tried to tie it up but could'nt. So off i went very slowly and noisy until it broke off from the back box. Not a lot i could do to be honest, So now there is a few little holes in the cat where it was rubbing on the road and the rest has had its day too..lol
So, i need a complete new system, of course i would like to do away with the cat but finding a place around here that can be bothered to help without fleecing my wallet is hard to come by.

I did mention in work if i got the parts i would pay for it to be done but no response as the gaffers father likes to make lots of money for doing nothing much.

The only time i have now is Tuesday morning as i do not have to go into work until late as im off to Brussels, Then i wont be home until Thursday. With a bank holiday coming up i want the car so as me and the other half can go off for the days i have off. She wont be too happy if we can't..lol.

Jobs going fine though, I spend most of my spare time playing with satnavs, had a good result today i now have Tom Tom truck software on my satnav. If only getting and fitting an exhaust was so easy..

There is a place out there that I have seen which does link pipes for HDi's to do away with the cat---trying to find it.
Greg

It is this place----see Front Pipes
Exhaust front pipes and repair sections.
You will have to phone.

Just an update on my exhaust.
Found a local place that sleeved and done away with the cat.
Called in there yesterday as i've been away most of the time and he said i will open early on Saturday morning and do it for you before i start the jobs i have booked in.

Local garage to me and an independant garage.

Job done for £60.

Guess who will have more work from me.. What a pleasant suprise, a helpfull garage for a change.

Thanks all for the info and offers of help.
