Fun Under The Car

Spent most of the day working on the car, sorting the water pipes that burst on the way back from Hull, and the leak on the exhaust. Which has gotten steadyly louder and louder the past week.

Water pipes was fun, it turns out just about everything is rusted and corroded. But it's not leaking water anymore, and seems to be keeping cool. Just need to sort out the anti-freeze mix. So that'll be a job for next weekend ;-)

The exhaust? Well, having thought it was a leaking gasket, it turns out most of the noise is coming from the infamous front joint. Which works loose with all the vibration and so causing leaks. Lots of exhaust assembly putty, and a tightening of the joint, and noises stopped :-D

So, off to the cemetry and Asda. Noise comes back :-(

The joints loose again. Jack up the car, and this time tighten the clamp with my breaker bar. And it ain't shifting now ;-)
