OK

Back in 2003 when we converted the Rangie to diesel, I took it down to the local exhaust place in western sydney to have a system built for it. Got it back home , had a look and it looked like a 2.5" exhaust. Since then I have always had a flat spot in the engine, which I put down to it being me, as it was the first diesel I had rebuilt.

Well after City View I split the expansion joint on the exhaust, no problem pull it off and weld on a new one. Pulled it off and found that a 2' expansion joint had been used, and the cunning dog had welded 2.5" tubes over the ends:mad: . Talking to my local Tweed exhaust guy this would have caused a lot of turbulance. Well I thought yeh maybe, so armed with a 2.5' expansion joint I welded it on this morning and took it for a test.

Guess what no freakin flat spot anymore, and a lot quieter:D :D

Now I dont know if we can bag a company on the forum so:angel:

If their was another planet, say called Minchinbury, and on this planet they had an exhaust business, I would go and see the owner (if he were the same as on our planet} and I would jam that 2" expansion joint fair up his tail pipe.

So lesson learnt.

I think we should start a list of suppliers that go beyond the norm to help, and carry out good quality workmanship and start a club preferred list.

Any thoughts??????

Good idea as it also helps others who may not know where to go

now now people, let's just all remain calm and get back on track.
you guys sound worse than the parliament!!!!
back on track - good to hear it's sorted Justin :)

also good idea to put a good word in for decent repairers and suppliers, they appreciate it as well and we will reap the benefits.








ps. you lot have a safe and enjoyable weekend!
