Getting recovered.. will they drop the wifey off en route
Discussion
I'm stuck in North Wales at the moment with a sick car and need to get back to Kent.
I've split a boost hose and although I've made a temporary repair with Gaffa tape, I'm sure it won't last the journey as the tape is melting (is reasonably close to the manifold).
So, if it can't be repaired by Mr recovery man, would they drop the girlfriend off at her hotel she has booked en-route if its not too much of a detour? She is booked in at Farnborough, Hampshire for the night.

I would have thought that would be an easy fix, they can use exhaust tape which will resist the heat. In any case, surely a split boost hose will only make the car a bit gutless to drive, not undriveable?
If youu do get recovered,it sounds like a bit too much of a detour, I expect. Maybe drop her at a station so she can get the train there?

Exhaust tape... Should have thought about that... Hopefully it'll be a roadside job then.
Could probably drive it back off boost as is doing a max of 50 mph... Anymore and it coughs and splutters big time.. However. I dont want to be the numpty in the slow lane causing miles of tailbacks!

As soon as it comes on boost it will be fuelling for it so will be running very rich hence the coughs & spluttersCould probably drive it back off boost as is doing a max of 50 mph...

Cheers Neil...
I assume I can get the tape from Halfords?
Should be able to look for the stuff that has a relective surface i use it as a heat sheild on the underneath of the bonnet & slam panel its very strong & durable although a bit fiddly to put on probably easier to do with the pipe off so you will need to have something to undo the jubilee clips hth I assume I can get the tape from Halfords?
