Exhaust manifold repair

[RubbishFettler]

Hi all

Have removed cast iron exhaust manifold from my 350i and there is a small hole in it (about 2 cm long and 3mm wide.There seem to be all sorts of conflicting opinions on the web Can anybody advise if it is worth having it repaired, or is it not likely to last? Thought there are likely to be members with experience of this.

Cheers

Thanks for all the comments, as I said, very much mixed opinions. The hole is close to the flange but I only do 1000 miles a year, so taking all into account (especially the cost of replacement), I think it might be worth trying a repair which may last a while. I thought TVR parts may produce some mild steel ones at reasonable cost, but there doesn't seem to be the same consideration given to wedges as some of the other models, which is a shame. Thanks again for all your contributions.
