    So much for all your quotes :D

    took the car in today to have a straight pipe put in, in place of the box....

    Just before I did it i asked for a quote to put 2.5" straight through from the turbo back.....

    he asked mild steel or stainless...I replied mild steel as I said probably wont have the car long enough for that to rot out..


    He climbs under the car to have a look gets out stands up and sayd arrrr I reckon about 1500bux....holy flying bat **** I was like yes thanks I will have the 80bux pipe put in please


    So much for the 250 dollar quotes everyone is getting
    Our Land Rover does not leak oil! it just marks its territory.......

    hmmm, I think he probably didnt want the job so quoted something he knew would put you off. Tradies have told me they do that when they dont want a job. I thought saying "Sorry we cant help you with that" would have been easier!

    Thats what I said to Ian that perhaps he doesn't want the job....BUT thats all they do is exhaust so bit silly turning away business.

    as for the 80 bux from the two places I have asked at its between 60/80bux so dont think he was ripping me there chose him because he was the easiest to drop car off to this morning.
