And to u mate 😁🥳

Yep well as said above cant seem to find the right bloody pipes!! Lol...doing the connectors tomoz after work..

Will see if that does anything but yes think will deffo do the pipes too maybe next week, I guess oem pipes will/maybe cone with the connectors etc, so maybe a waste me buying the connectors tbf lol..

But reading up a lot seem to recommend decent pipes some even the forge ones etc but £70 is a lot for 2 pipes lol 😆 😉

£70 to fix a car, result in my eyes.

Haha indeed...


Well atm all is good 👌😁 :laugh: :grin:

We put the connectors on after work..bit fiddly and the bottom one was even stuck on a bit then the end broke off trying to get it off lol !

Took some pics
..

The ones on there literally fell apart might as well be made of chocolate!! Lol.

Squeeze them slightly and literally just crumbled and you can see the o rings in them compared to new ones are absolutely gone, completely fooked lol...
