Strange one

by Robs-se » Thu Jul 01, 2010 2:54 am

as above, have been using the wifes MK3 astra the last few days. On accelleration noticed a bit of hesitancey but nothing too major. Yesterday we pulled into the shop carpark and i noticed something hanging out the back of the exhaust. On pulling it out it looked like someone had stuffed their wig up it. looked like long stands of nylon hair from a cheap comedy wig. How long was that up there? still it cleaned the inside of the pipe out lol :lol:
Its now running ok
