Rage! Oh the rage and more problems!!
Discussion
My lovely S3 has now decided to add to the list of problems that I've had in the shape of a 10 pence sized hole in the right hand exhaust manifold, right on the bend.
Looks like corrosion rather than scrape damage.
Went out on Sunday, bought:
2 axel stands
1 wire brush
1 Gum repair bandage
2 Tin of Gun Gum
Spent a while under the car, in the rain
bandaging and smearing paste on.
Seems to have worked quite well, only a slight leak now. At least it only has to last 2 weeks and a trip down to London
Then to top my day off I got some racist ba***rds shouting things at me whilst driving back from Halfords, things not very nice to say the least.
And! Some kid threw a stone at me from a bridge and chipped my windscreen!!

Right enough Chris, sounds like a rubbish sequence of events. Forget the racists, not worth giving another thought to, my manifolds have done the same last month on both sides, and at the end of the day there are always people worse off than you - at least you have a TVR to get problems with, some can only dream!!
On the good side, autoglass has said that I can have a new windscreen on Wednesday for £50 on my insurance, without effecting my NCB.
Also spoken to Tim at ACT, who has said that I may be able to get away with just fixing the down pipes, which will be a lot cheaper.
Now feeling a lot better. If I can sell my wheels, then I may ring ACT and get a SS exhaust
