Mat-Richmond Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 ahhhhhhhrgghhh was driving round my hometown of chesterfield today when all of a sudden a massive rock appeared infront of me, then without time to think i ran over it didnt it and the most god aweful crunching came from under my car then on the drive home sounded like a bloody tractor, after some inspection i realised it has cracked my decat on the top, not much of a crack so have patched it up for the time being (now sounds better) untill i buy another next week, mind you......anyone know how much it would be to weld? its about 2 inch the crack across, mind you i might just buy another grrrrrrrr wish i could catch the person who's lorry, trailor that came off and give them a right biatchslap to the face on the GOOD side..................fmic being delivered tommorow so its all gravy!

Starlet__SR Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Heatwrapping can actually do more harm than good in most casesD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
templar2007 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I think it crack more with ss Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyD Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Heatwrapping can actually do more harm than good in most casesDx2, heatwrapping keeps the heat in, making things hotter and invaribly gives things more chance of cracking, especially if its cracked already invest in a new one bud Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I wacked mine on a manhole cover on monday made the worst noise in the world!! Seems to be fine though, think the Sustec underbrace took the brunt of it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
