Help!

Anyone know of a good VW place near Ferndale Dorset or anywhere from there heading back to Cambridge? We've almost finished our holiday and one of the heat exchangers has blown at the flange onto the exhaust pipe.

 

Couldn't you do a temporary bodge, maybe with a tin can and some jubilee clips?

 

You could use some exhaust repair paste as a temp fix bob

 

If you're coming past this way, I have tools, welder, exhaust paste, tin cans, jubilee clips, studs, nuts, bolts, etc etc.

 

07887 777213 if you get stuck.
If you're desperate or it gets worse give me a call and I'll dig out the trailer and we can recover it to Cambs. (assuming you don't have AA etc)

 

if you can get to southampton my welders out

 

Just spoken to @sANDYbAY , they've made it to The New Forest, exhaust is bodged up for now, points and timing reset, hoping to get home without the help of The AA.

 

So the timing was out? He called earlier...

 

I'm near Portsmouth and can fix it

 

We're home safe and sound - without using the big yellow taxi.
Thanks to TLB we had a lovely support group consisting of
@Markpc @paradox @Top Banana Racing @volkswombat @zed @davidoft

Thank guys for all the advice and offers to help. You all get Karma (oh no that's the old TLB).

Now I need to get online and buy myself a new distributor.

 

Get one with the electronic unit built in.
They're cheap and work well.

 

I've gone for an Accuspark SVDA with vacuum electronic at £54.95

 

nice one Bob glad you got home safe and sound

 

That's the kiddy.

 

We need a run down and pics of the bodge erm I mean running repair
