Hi all,

Completed the task of replacing my manifold over the weekend, all in all it took me about 10 hours but i took my time and was methodical about it keeping all nuts/bolts and wiring labelled up so when i came to putting all back together i remembered how it went.

The car runs great now, a hell of a lot better. I think 130,000 on the original manifold took its toll lol.....

A big thanks to the creators of the how2 on here and everyone who replied to the thread for this, because most definately without this i wouln't have been able to do it myself, thus spending loads of money in garage fees. So again a big thanks everyone!!!!
