It won't last, ask Puggy!irunmineonred wrote:i have taped it up for now and alls well again.
Lot of pressure in those pipes, I think all the expansiona nd contraction over time coupled with rubber getting less pliant with age just weakens them. Get it replaced ASAP.

wont last !!!! your right it lasted about 2 miles and i thought some one had let off a whistling fire work ! realy i did untill i put my foot down again and noticed i could play a tune and got a few strange looks as well, anyway might try the salvage yard first b4 i go and get ripped off at the pug centre.
