Pulsar broke down again.... LOL!
You gotta laugh.. at least it aint something bad, its just small petty things that keep going wrong, and annoying!
Even though, I was only pulling away from lights, I hear " plllaaamupth"
and shouted "CUNT" as loud as I could , forgetting that I had my window down.... and getting all sorts of looks, I knew straight away it was a boost pipe as I heard them go before...
So i struggle to get the the side of the road, pop bonnet and have a look...
I was right, Its a boost pipe... but it hasn't come away from a samco
Its come away from the weld/flange that bolts to the turbo comp wheel
and the biggest pisser... I was only 5 minutes from mine! and had to call the RAC as I couldnt have drove it home
At least it aint a gearbox or something major
RAC man was top too, he loved the car, said he owned one before and also a courtney 6speed turbo Astra
What next?

water pump wasnt that big a deal on a car that old....to be fair the car would have been fine if;
A) if some twat didnt fit a shonky turbo outlet pipe for the FMIC
B) Rad didn't own it

Can't really blame the car for being unreliable you lot, the cheap intercooler pipe isn't exactly nissan OE.
That is bad luck though, I've never seen one like that after many years on the gtir forums.
It looks like the autobahn kit to me, they are normally pretty good. Someone must have been having a bad day when they welded that
On a side note, how comes you were driving around when ya rad is buggered? or did I miss that fix
