RoverFolkUs Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 If it's been Cat B'd, then it would technically be illegal for the ATF to sell it to a member of the public. Anybody purchasing a Cat B vehicle should be a registered ATF The scrap yard aren't being assholes, they're just obeying the law Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayMK Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 (edited) I made this comment in another thread in early January '23 :- 'Must fix my Tipo's exhaust when the weather behaves. It passed its MOT recently with an advisory on a corroded exhaust (tail box and final hanger). A few days later it began to sound very sporty then a day later the rear hanger started to part company with the tailpipe. A baked beans can, a Fray Bentos pie can and some jubilee clips will allow a professional Autoshite repair, maybe aided by JB Weld if I can find it.' Well, the last couple of days have provided acceptable weather and I've had enough enthusiasm to 'see to' the exhaust. I did not need to use JB Weld because Holts Exhaust Assembly Paste gave the required sealing and adhesion. The only part of the job that took longer than expected was the drilling of a 5mm hole in the old exhaust hanger where corrosion of the tailpipe had caused it to part company with the pipe. Either my drills are blunt or cheap and nasty or I'm getting weak because even with the hanger removed from the car and in a vice it took nearly an hour to get through 8mm of bracket and tailpipe remnants. Surprisingly, I had more success with a hand drill in the end. Power drills seemed to lack bite with or without coolant and regardless of the speed selected. Yes, I tried to drill a smaller diameter pilot hole first. Anyway, the Tipo's enforced holiday is over. The expertly bodged repair is solid, leak free and secure. It even looks ok after a blast of some zinc primer undercoat. No photos because I do not own a smartphone and my camera is rarely anywhere convenient. It was nice to drive a car with suspension again. My modern Mitsubishi Mirage makes such a fuss as it bangs and crashes over unavoidable potholes whereas the Fiat just calmly takes everything in its stride. Edit: Just to clarify: I used the tin cans and jubilee clips mentioned, plus a 25cm length of galvanised steel tubing to internally sleeve the tailpipe and give additional support right into the silencer. The hanger was repaired by modifying a jubilee clip to take a nut and bolt which then mated with the hanger and the hour hole.

Another example of common sense being ignored in the name of stupid rules and red tape. Im actually surprised the banger boys haven’t had it on the oval! Which would be a better end for the poor thing than sitting on a rack before getting cubed. Nev and bunglebus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I didn't dislike the look, I wasn't prepared to pay the 30 odd quid sellers were asking at the time. Looking online now, the cheapest Vauxhall version I can find is >£80 posted.

I guess the Opel version fetches even more! I remember it being easy to go on a foreign forum and find someone who wanted to swap. Years ago I knew some Spanish and German guys who wanted all the Vauxhall-branded bits for their Opels I doubt there's any of that enthusiasm for it now.....
