I wonder if anyone can explain the issue and perhaps offer a guide as to likely repair cost…
The car runs very well and has always done so…….

I thought the exhaust was blowing so gave the car to the guy who looks after it for me and to also get an MOT done……it flies through the MOT because its not the exhaust its to do with apparently the internal part of the exhaust manifold.

My guy [a time served MB mechanic] says for me its just not worth repairing having regard to the cars age and projected value. Once warmed up the sound is virtually inaudible….

I can see he is right in one sense but I would like to know precisely the fault….gasket in the manifold?....and my guy isn’t the best at explaining it to me, a layman as such.

He says it has no adverse effect on the cars running…and having driven to Dorset and Hampshire and back in the last week or so I can testify to that……
