eddiec Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 have managed to source the necessary bits for my exhaust but as i dont have facilities to do the work myself can anyone suggest somewhere in Aberdeen to get the work done. i've called a few of the mainline fitters but they are taking the p*ss with the costs to do it on a customer supplied system ... all it needs is a ramp, removal of 4 bolts and a bit of farting around getting it onto the hangers !!
Coolhandcran Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 try Scott at car clinic on Abbotswell Road just off wellington road
Coolhandcran Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 Sorry m8 number would probably help 891414
eddiec Posted September 15, 2005 Author Posted September 15, 2005 cheers i had heard them advertising on the radio but wasnt sure where they were located will give them a call
Carl Davey Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 Either give Russ Hulme a shout when he gets back from India or pop round mine and we'll take care of it together. Really not worth paying garages to do that kind of thing. If it has to be a garage Turriff Tyres won't take the piss and are on 01888 562929. Wee bit of a drive along the A947 but that's no bad thing.
WUZ Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 Somebody call? Russell ( home as of 0955 this morning) ps - call me on 01224 749972 and leave a message Eddie, or I can pop round your work and chat to you there (assuming your still at the building on Rubislaw?)
eddiec Posted September 16, 2005 Author Posted September 16, 2005 cheers lads Craig i need to get the centre section and rear box replaced on my P1, i have the rear one and the centre pipe should be delivered today. Russ No i've moved since the last time we met i am now at BP over in Dyce Carl yes i know what you mean after all its only 4 bolted joints theoretically that need to be broken and remade and the hangers etc should all be in the correct places. if i had access to a ramp then i would do it myself (or at least have a bash at it .. haha) and you're right some of the prices i've been quoted are ridiculous considering that you could take your car in there and they would fit one of their own in less than an hour.
craig mac Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 Eddie You are Russells side of town then but yes you are right its 10mins to do Russell am sure will do it however if you are stuck give me a shout and i will help you out. Got access to ramps etc and will pop it on for you. Craig
eddiec Posted September 16, 2005 Author Posted September 16, 2005 cheers Craig i actually live in Bridge of Don where are you based
WUZ Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 Craig (AFAIK) still work sin Badentoy Park in Portlethen, well out of your way I believe. Your living in B of D are you? Have you tried to see if Gavin at Wallace Per4mance can do it for you? I could pop round tonight and sort it out in 15 mins. I'll bring the stands and jacks, etc. Russell
craig mac Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 Nae Nae Russell Now work in Altens farm Road AB12 No workshop cr4p now mate. If Wuz was not available i would have done it as previously stated. Craig
WUZ Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 AAH! What a gent. I'm not sure if Eddie has decided who he wants to do it, I've, just like you, offered my services. Russell
eddiec Posted September 16, 2005 Author Posted September 16, 2005 have not contacted Gavin, popped round past last sunday to see if they were open (travelling in disguise in Tracy's Corsa) but obviously closed on a sunday. i finish early on a friday and assuming that the centre section gets delivered to me here at work today then i would really appreciate your offer of help i will pm you my mobbie number and we can discuss further Craig appreciate your offer of help too encouraging to see that folks will help each other out on this forum
Power Junkie Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 Russell! I have some ramps if you want to borrow them
WUZ Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 Cheers Mark but there's no need for them. 10 minutes under a 3 ton high-lift Jack will have it sorted. Eddie - I'll call you about 1pm Russell
eddiec Posted September 16, 2005 Author Posted September 16, 2005 Russell centre section just delivered to my work so give me a call and we can arrange something
WUZ Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 Got your message, see you at Marc's when you get out of work Russell
eddiec Posted September 18, 2005 Author Posted September 18, 2005 Big thanks to Russell for sorting this for me and also to Marc who made a fine job of polishing my tail pipe when Russ was under the car ... ooeer missus !!!
WUZ Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 Glad you said it M8, I was really going to try and say nothing.....................but that's just not me. Glad to have been here to help! Russell
Boyakasha Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 I love polishing tailpipes PS Make sure you keep it nice and shiney from now on Marc
eddiec Posted September 19, 2005 Author Posted September 19, 2005 haha yes i am suitably ashamed so much so that i went looking for metal polish yesterday !!
