KIA PROGRESS: Exhaust fell* off.
Yes, I was going to do this sensibly on OM's lift, but then a neighbour offered me some ramps for a fiver, and I found I could reach the awkward hanger just by driving the front wheels onto the ramps. I panicked a little when the silencer didn't seem to have the same join as the new silencer, but then I realised this was because the whole system is pretty much made of JB weld.
I stupidly didn't buy any new nuts and can't find anything in the spare room, so it'll now have to wait until I can replace the two I had to delicately remove with a junior hacksaw. Friday, then.
I'll still need to visit Mr OM to see if he'll re-attach an exhaust hanger in exchange for beer / beer tokens, but I'll try to get the new one on first.
