Try BHM John. They fit quite a lot of Librands pipes and they may have the standard pipes they replace available.
See you on Sunday Roger _____ From: John Porter [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 23 April 2012 08:57 To: mogtalk2 Subject: [mogtalk2] Drive it day or bad day!! need info on exhausts Well what a day!! It started with the hood down but by the time we got to the end of the lane the hood was up. Avoid the roadworks into Rugeley and see three Rileys heading in the direction of Lichfield. The only other classic we saw all day was a mog reg ....TEA I believe. Now Mrs P liked this mog so we were in it rather than the +4. I elected to go via Wolverhampton instead of picking up the Motorway as I thought there would be more chance of seeing other classics. First big mistake. Sunday Markets haven't died a death at least not heading towards Wolverhampton they haven't. Half an hour to cover a mile or so. I'd already noticed a bit of vibration/drumming as we set off and Mrs P was now complaining of a headache. The big bore silencer which I don't like anyway was making a big drone and there was a general "shake" to the mog all the time. Mrs P not a Happy Bunny by the time we get to my daughters. Well sorted out lots of jobs for Emma and the girls nip off into town. This was my opportunity to have a quick look at the mog. No weights on any of the wheels. One possible cause of the vibration hopefully. I have another set I can try today to eliminate wheels and tyres until I can get this set balanced. I was expecting to find a loose bkt or similar with the exhaust but nothing. It had bobbins in all the right places as well. We think it also makes a difference with two in the car as it is definitely worse two up. I also had a quick look at the engine mountings and it is difficult to tell if the nearside one was beginning to separate rubber from steel. I will be checking that out shortly. Now all this needs to be sorted before next weekend as we are doing the Midland trials in this mog. The day continues with a pleasant meal in a pub in Worcester when my daughter eventually found it! Mobile rings "Dad can you pick me up from Birmingham at 11.30pm" sais Luke who has just had his second week of excellent skiing in France. He can't get any closer to us by train or coach as it is a Sunday. Well he could but it would have been 1.30am this morning. Back to Emma's collect up tools and drive back home to swop to the Freelander and turn around a then drive to Brum. Nearside front tyre on the Freelander virtually flat. Luckily the lad's car is full of fuel so after a cup of tea set of for Birmingham. Surprise surprise there are road works in the middle of Brum but I eventually find the bus station and we eventually get home at 1.30 this morning. Now to today's task: The 4/4 is a zetec engine and presently has a big bore silencer. Any other owners out there able to indicate if they have similar or not as "standard". I suspect this is an after market addition and I would like to get it changed. Who is likely to have an exhaust on the shelf that I can go and pick one up from or get a guaranteed delivery from as it must be sorted by Friday?
