Accord Exhaust Bandage - geebee
Hi all, Ive just been given an old Honda Accord to use while my Rover 416 is off the road....Its a 1986 2.0 EX and although 20 years old, in very good condition with only 56000 on the clock. It runs like a dream but the only thing Ive had to do was to cover up a small crack in the exhaust pipe with a bandage (from Halfords). Ive done a neat and secure job, and covered up quite a way past either side of the crack...its actually on the pipe rather than at a join with a box, or on a box itself. I just wondered if a good repair job like this would be acceptable in a MOT test as its due in a couple of months, and this is the only fault i can find that it might fail on. There is no blowing at all now, and no leakage of any fumes from the repair. Thanks in advance for any help with this.
