General jim in trouble

To check if its the same exhaust, this might help (just click on the model of your car)....

edit - Jim, the back box off Dave's 750 will only fit your panda if yours is a 1986 to 1992 panda

That's unbelievable! I checked the system out along with everything else not 2 weeks ago and it all looked fine. The front half is new anyway.
Jim were you driving over the bumps again thinking you were in Juppy.
wereabouts are you?

Chris, all the FIRE engined non-cat backboxes are the same.

I wasnt sure how old Jims car was (impossible to date the panda with a NI reg plate).

We say the same about mainland cars. BTW I take it your sig applies to Jim more than the rest of us

had a chat with Jim earlier and he was advised by the AA just to get in & drive it to London the way it was as they were too busy

Now I wonder where in the AA policy it advises for drivers to commit motoring offences, Obviously customer Policy must have changed where instead of the advertising "We're your friend" it now means "F**K you we're busy""why should we give a **** when we've already got your money"

I'm totaly gobsmacked

its an old trick ..as in get you home.. but the rear pipe on the back box is usually smaller than the front bit that brokeand you can turn the box around and shove it in the middle section tap a couple of times and away you go

im talking pipe diameters here not lenths.

mrf dave

and they have stopped standing on corners and saluting when you drive past!! what is the world coming to?

Sorry to hear the AA couldn't be bothered with you Jim... little did they realise that the negative impact this might have as the magazine for the FIAT club of North America and others will be reading of their wonderful service.

[JimMagill]

Hard at work!

 

[Alan.D]

Glad you made it OK Jim, Well done Dave

 

[Stuartl]

I think just about every mechanic in the UK and Europe has worked on Sylvia now.
Jim are you in the AA cause if you are I am going to send them an official NIIMC letter of complaint.

Alan like yourself I'm gobsmacked.

 

[Stuartl]

Thank you Dave for coming to Jims rescue. Very kind

Send them the link to this site as well

 

[Steven]

Well done Dave, that was very decent of you. I'm an AA member, and I'm disgusted at this...

 

[JimMagill]

awh... what a send off!!!!

 

[JimMagill]

Sylvia back on the road - many many many many thanks to EVERYONE that helped out today!!!
especially "SUPER DAVE" Who did indeed save the day!
Jim

On the subject of the AA, to give them their due's they where very busy. It took over 2 hours for them to arrive but they phoned every 30 min to say sorry and it wasn't an AA man that spoke to me at the roadside but an agent from carcraft and he was only contracted to get me off the motorway. It wasn't the worst service in the world but if Dave had not of come to the rescue???
