Thats the least of his worries.......he waxed the car without claying it first.......what will the Fire Brigade think when they turn up.

If you've ever had to fit one of those exhausts you might resort to gaffer tape too, cheap exhausts are never the right shape and need coating in six tonnes of paste to stop it blowing.

Gaffa on exhaust.

Hmmm.

[StottyZr]

I thought this thread was going a little harsh, I didn't think the temporary solution was a bad idea. But I had also presumed he had used an exhaust bandage

Gaffer tape, I mean, really?

If he can't afford a new part, and it's less than a mile to work, walk it, save fuel, don't set your car on fire again, afford a new part sooner.

Tool.

That is the bit that annoys me.
I would never want to subject my car to 10 sub 1 mile journeys a week.
Walk or even get a £20 used bike.

Soaking exhaust wrap in a flamable substance, what could go wrong?

[stowey1984]

Only a Saxo driver could pull off 2 fails in such epic proportion.

I've never seen anyone use gaffa tape (come to think of it any tape) to 'fix' an exhaust.

Hey, duck tape was used to get Apollo 13 back to earth. There is NOTHING that cannot be fixed with duck tape!

didn't they use the 'duct' tape to repair the oxygen ducting?

Yes it was.

And it either Duck or Duct is correct...

The origin of the name of the product, "duck tape" or "duct tape", is the subject of some disagreement.

One view is that it was called "duck tape" by WWII soldiers either because it resembled strips of cotton duck (canvas) or because the waterproof quality of the tape contributed to the name, by analogy to the water-shedding quality of a duck's plumage. Under this view, soldiers returning home from the war found uses for duck tape around the house where ductwork needed sealing. Other proponents of this view point to older references to non-adhesive cotton duck tape used in Venetian blinds, suggesting that the name was carried over to the adhesive product. The Oxford English Dictionary says that perhaps "duct tape" was originally "duck tape". This view is summarized most notably in a New York Times article by etymologist William Safire in March 2003. Safire cites use of the term "cotton duck tape" in a 1945 advertisement for surplus government property.[20] The Brooklyn Daily Eagle uses the term "duck" in 1902 quotation for "100,000 yards of cotton duck tape" being used to protect the cables of the Brooklyn Bridge.[21] Thus a fabric duck tape was available to which an adhesive could have been added.
