Hi Guys,
So, different garage this time. The rattling exhaust on my 1994 Nissan Primera, is because the Baffling is gone, and I need a new middle section on my exhaust. So at least I can get that done under warranty and I wont use that guy who told it me the cat was blocked and the exhaust was leaking at the flange before the cat ergo I spend £200 on a new cat to have the same problem.
Of course, I can't remember what's under my car, but I didn't think it had a middle section??? I thought it was front pipe, cat, back pipe. Oh well.
But I also have a suspension problem. I was turning left the other day, under somewhat high speed but also heavy braking, sharp left turn, and the car sounded like it bottomed out (but no obvious marks underneath).
Turns out both front drop links need to be replaced. Does that sound like a likely culprit? There always was a lot of clunking over and uneven surface, but I put that down to normal Nissan noises, but I did get worried with the car sounding like it hit the ground.
Incidentally, with regard to the MOT, Baffling, and Drop Links, do they constitute part of the MOT checks?
Cheers SImon
