It passed Will and with no advisories :-D

That's all of them now done for a year and apart from my V6 needing a new backbox and the girl's cars needing servicing I'm all up to date on the car front...

Good news Jim.. I'm also all up to date for a year with cars. I even bought the right wheel bolts for the Berlingo spare today from the dealer!

Thanks Steve :-D Only a few Avatars got hurt during the migration so not bad at all!

I'm sure Superloopy will be happy to see Tapatalk is still good too!

I can't see yours Paul... Looks like I killed it. Sorry. Just upload it again and all will be good...

I see the cheap Xantia V6 exhausts are still available on the 'bay...

Do a search on 'Xantia V6 Exhaust' and three different suppliers come up...

Has anyone had any experience with any of the vendors?

Or shall I just take pot luck and choose one at random?

I'm just thinking that £60 for a full system will be much cheaper than trying to find just a back box...

I guess they'll all sound OK... Mine is very blowy now...

Good to see you have your avatar back :)

Jim if you can get a good mid box and back box as the noise could change for the worse :(

Has yours still got an original CAT Jim?

Indeed. Then you'll have a good stash of centre boxes.

It's on Zulu time ;) I'll check the server time setup tomorrow. I likely forget the BST bit when setting up the server. Sorry...
