Hello there friend.
As I say I am not a qualified mechanic but over recent months I have followed up procedures mainly from the internet and even at times just used my common sense and have completed jobs successfully saving hundreds of pounds.
I could have attempted removing everything to tighten this nut but It would probably take me over a week to do.
I would have just got a new pipe but the problem would remain the same, how to tighten the bolt enough.
Anyway my friend came back today after altering the bolt, he has cut slots into ti so it is now like cog-shaped, and it is now onto the car very tight but I have not started the car due to the battery being flat, I will start car tomorrow but this really should be the end of the problem, the pipe is on solid.
do you have any thoughts on this ?
