Help!

I need to find somewhere with a ramp that can saw a 3" diameter pipe this afternoon.
My exhaust has arrived and i need to cut the old pipe before i can put the new one on.

Anyone know anywhere? I'd literally need the ramps for 20 minutes tops.

If not i may well go and buy a hacksaw from a DIY place and do it in my work car park...

Get that pipe on! I'd like to know what it sounds like. Could be a sensible upgrade for when mine rusts through - it's terrible the quality of metal they use you know, I can hear it rusting from herewink

Sorry can't help with the garage!

Pete,

Try Den at DPS CoachWorks on 01344 873357.

He's located in Sunningdale/Sunninghill.

He might tell you to censored off, or he might welcome you with open arms - always a gamble.

Just in case ...... his address is: Unit 20, Crossways, London Rd, Sunninghill, Ascot, Berkshire SL5 0PL

Unfortunately I didn't keep in touch with the two guys I know at Chrysler (the former AFN garage that still have a beautifully set up workshop) otherwise I could have had a word but it has been about 6 years since I last saw them.

Alternatively there is a kwik-fit in Isleworth about 1 minute from my house so I guess you could ask them if they have any free ramp space although they may be a little mystified as to why you are fitting your own exhaust at an exhaust place! hehe

Thanks guys, i popped by my mate's MOT place in Wokingham, borrowed some floor space and some tools, and did it there.

Sounds good, but needs "running in" biggrin

Just had a look at the new performance catalogue. Some of that stuff looks great, even if its a bit unnecessary (steering wheel with in built laptimer).

That 135i coupe looks like a proper M3 too.

Indeed, lots of very tasty kit.
Brakes work out at £1500 fitted, wheels at just over £2k, all the carbon bits are hideously expensive though (i.e. strut brace, £685!).

And those seats are gorgeous - rebranded Recaro seats. Tasty.
