Car Forum / Land Rover Cars / October 2006Exhaust has left the vehicle!
Evening On the way to the pub tonight (as it was my turn to cook :)) the bastard exhaust came off. The previous owner has removed the last backbox, and moved the exhaust output up a bit, through the body so its out of the way... if im lucky, i can get someone to weld a bit of straight pipe on the end of where its broken off from a but joint and just bolt it back on... Well thats the plan.. Can you weld exhaust pipe? I assume so...

Can you weld exhaust pipe? I assume so... yep, you can weld it though if its really rusty it can take a bit of effort and disturbing the exhaust to weld one bit can often snap another rusty bit! Find a mate who has a welder and give him some beers! if its right at the end and easy to get to it is only a quick job!

It does not sound bad at all - defo drivable. The only way i knew it had come off as it was vibrating against the chassis making a racket! Ill get the tail pipe, (which is in the back now) to someone at the weekend for some welding - Let the bodging begin. Lee - Do you think that cause its not got a back box that could be causing the lack of power?

A lack of power on your landy would be more likely due to the existing backbox being blocked. >> Mark Solesbury <mark_solesbury@tiscaliIWONDERIFTHISWORKS.co.uk> uttered >> summat worrerz funny about: [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > A lack of power on your landy would be more likely due to the existing > backbox being blocked.

Yeah, i did see that the other day whilst on site down south. They look well good. Hope your pleased with em! Do you still need a pic of the stricker?

Its been done to improve off road ability i'd imagine, but i dont ever seem to have seen an exhaust get caught off road as it is hidden in the departure angle recess between the wheels and the cross member?

No rattles and a lot more secure! yes - no rattles, that's the ticket :) Unfortunately (or maybe not), the spare sides I have are without windows. Have to think on that.

If its anything like a series, get some glass, nibble a hole to fit it and then use some of the standard glass rubber (the stuff with an insert) to fit it with. >> although, id like to know of a cunning way to make the hole a tad >> bigger.

The 101 side windows are the same too. They were even done as a DIY job by a previous owner on the 2A cos they arnt quite straight.. >>> You mean non-sliding rear windows? >> [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] >They were even done as a DIY job by a previous owner on the 2A cos >they arnt quite straight.. Did I mention that I fitted a window in the near side of Edward II? Came from the partition of a defunct sherpa van, and it's flat, roughly 12"x10" or maybe a bit more, and with rounded corners. Looks like it was made for it, and improves the safety by an amazing amount when pulling out of junctions.

When you do, you may find that you dont have the plastic surrounds for the pull handles (since you gave me 4), and you have an extra lock pluger surround since i only have one!.

SignatureDon't say it cannot be done, rather what is needed to do it! If the answer is offensive maybe the question was inappropriate The fiend of my fiend is my enema! Does anyone know of any exhaust 'part' suppliers? I need to get hold of a bit of pipe, about 6 inch long, with a flange that will take an olive on one end, and straight on the other.....
