Took my car to Protyre (next door to my work) for 2 new front tyres as i'm going to the Ring next friday. Drove into the car park and BANG and instantly my car starts blowing. Shredded my flexi pipe on my power flow system!
Need to get it fixed this weekend otherwise I wont be going to Germany

Yeh exactly john, its all powerflow so i'd like to keep it like that. I hit it on a drain cover. The centre is pretty fubared from when the previous owner reversed over a micro scooter

£60? You're lucky! The flexi pipe on the Cougar needs replacing and it's going to cost nearly £200.
That's a Ford price BTW, local tyre places are only about £30 cheaper!
