'Broke' down twice in one journey!

Yooo, just a quick post giving an example of the lugs failing on the boost pipes of the 150PD.

I was on my drive home, just cruising, came onto an on ramp for a dual carriage way, accelerated - BANG - huge noise, big thud, no boost, awful. I feared the worst. I rolled into a servie station, had a look around, could see the pipe behind the OS wheel.

Luckily I had my tools with me, bumper of and tried to fix it...I did but only for another few miles, of it came again. This time I rolled into a petrol station with a garage behind it, and managed to borrow a self tapper and a drill to bodge it!

Can't get the pic working! Will find it later.
