Sorry not with you, doesn't the MIG process use spools of welding wire electrode rather than rods? Arc, TIG and gas welding use rods, I've never seen iron welding wire like MIGs use.

Anyway I suspect that, as is commonly the case with cars, the exhaust manifold you had fixed is iron, but the SV has no manifold and the motor is aluminium.

thanks for the advice - will pul the exhaust off and clean it - drill some holes at the same time.
