Hi all,
Just wanted to put a quick post onto the forum in case it helps any other owners of 166s in Oxfordshire / Bucks. Basically my exhaust needed replacing, almost from manifold gaskets to tail pipes. My usual mechanics said that they would be willing to do the work if I could get hold of the parts. Had no luck at all, emails went unanswered and phone calls usually went along the lines of a sharp intake of breath following by "166 luv? Nah, don't do parts for 166s". Or I could get one or two bits but not everything.
Following posts on this site I did initially go to Powerflow but was put off by their very blokey / female unfriendly website and the fact that I couldn't care less about stainless steel. In the end I got desperate though and contacted their guy in Bucks and I'm hugely happy that I did so. Ant was brilliant, he replaced the exhaust from downpipes to tailpipes and more importantly saved the cat which saved me a fortune. He did the car in a day and for £520 I now have a brilliant exhaust system which sounds fantastic. Still not fussed re the fact that it's stainless steel but if anybody is having trouble in our area I would hugely recommend him! Great bloke, great job, great price!
