Hi all I'm back again to pick everybody's brain my exhaust has started blowin again on the stupid knuckle joint I'm just wondering I it is possibly an mot failure and also if anybody has any ideas on a quick easy repair to tide me over as I can't afford an exhaust yet due to my sister getting married in Cornwall and spending a fortune on my sons first birthday yesterday he did not want an exhaust for his birthday unfortunately

Knuckle joints, never fun on an exhaust, I used a simple repair kit and a lot of exhaust paste, it didn't last long unfortunately.

Wouldn't be very expensive to have a new piece welded in, but not exactly the cheapest of fixes

I think I may of sorted it with a bit of luck it will pass washed it and polished it for the first time since well before crimbo it looking good again now

Well I'm off for mot wish me luck I will let you know how I get on

Looks good Baz! Had mine washed last weekend properly for once, needs some polishing / t-cut along the bonnet due to rope rash that was holding a tarp down but it still scrubs up nice! Are those MX5 seats I spy? Could you get a photo of them / your interior for me, I want to see how tall the base of the seat is in comparison with the centre tunnel

Hi James I will do that tomoz for you it passed with no advisories and as for the knuckle joint repair I used fire proof silicone and its worked an absolute treat but let's see how long it lasts now though

Do you want me to take the picture from near the pedals or just from the door and yes they are mx5 they were 20 quid

A couple of photos from the drivers and passenger side would suffice I think, I just need really low seats for headroom!

edit: where did you get mx5 seats for £20! Bargain!

Just how lanky are you, James? The builder of my Mk3 told me he's 6' 5" and he reckoned it was OK...
