Re: Welder

Hi , I have used this welder to do a small patch up job and it's a great little welder , just be aware that you get a smoother and cleaner weld if you use it with The gas bottle.

Re: Cabriolet front wing/fender rust

Hi Andy , have you taken the wing off the car yet ? .
The reason for asking is, I had the same problem on my cab and when the wings where taken off I found the tin worm had started on the inside wheel arch .

Exhaust manifold gaskets

Is it possible to fit new exhaust manifold gaskets by just removing the manifold nuts and pulling the manifold away from the head ? Or would I need to remove the exhaust pipe ?.

Exhaust manifold nuts

Just a quick question regarding the nuts that hold the exhaust manifold on ,the car is a 325i .
Would it be better to use a nut splitter on them or play Russian roulette with a spanner .

Convertible drain holes

I have found the dreaded tin worm behind both front wings on my convertible which is not a major problem as I can weld a new piece in and repair it .
My issue is with the drain holes , I know there are two at the botton of the sil behind the wing ,but are there any above these ?.
