I agree, to me it shows they are making sure everything is 100% :thumbup1:

Did they say what their concerns were, was it not sitting right with the exhaust?

Yeah I think it's their attention to detail. They were concerned it was not thick enough, and would distort under heat/pressure.

Today's update is that the new (thicker) turbo flang(e) is supposed to have been made this afternoon (by an engineering firm) and be picked up tomorrow, then *hopefully* the car will make it to Noble tomorrow (Tuesday).

Apparently Noble normally have the car for 3 or 4 days to do their work.

Thanks guys :biggrin:

Russell, the downpipe is now more or less fitted, yes. I say more or less, because there's no point doing it all up when the turbo flang(e) is being replaced, so once that's sorted it'll all be fixed up and it'll be ready to roll.

Moley, yes, the car will come back from Noble and then just get a bit of a polish at Charlesworth, then I should be able to pick it up :w00t:

Great stuff mate !!

Then a drive up to Scotland would be a good idea, your car will be fed up seeing the rolling road by then and would like a change Wink
