Yea that's right bit annoying the revs go up then fall the Rev counter does not move though.
Maybe thought it was a fuel thing.
Where is the filter.

Hi Chris I have been looking for a few months now and my Tuscan sold.
I seen this one on pistonheads advertised in Germany. It's still on UK plates so made bringing it back easy.
It's a low mileage low owner car 17000 miles.
Just got the mot done today and the manifold is blowing is this still ok to run like this .
Must say it still drives great but don't want to cause further damage.

Can't tell can't feel a crack it's like it's blowing from the front of the bottom manifold.
If it was cracked how would I know .I can hear it blowing but awkward to see.

Thanks all I hope it is the gasket TrackMonkey I can't feel any cracks .
It'd blowing on the bottom manifold at the turbo side .Anything to consider if I remove the manifold does the turbo have to come of to.
Can you send the picture.Thanks

Started the nobel up this morning and from cold it does not blow and ticks over fine .
Once warm it starts to hunt and blow from the joint at the turbo area.Would this suggest a gasket rather than a crack.
Thanks again .

Got the intercooler of today and found the manifold bolts were slack tightened them up so see how it goes tomorrow. Pig to get into and tighten up a new gasket may be required.

Thanks all on further investigation cracked rear manifold very small hairline and hard to see.
Manifold at the joint with the turbo is slack to but bolts are terrible to get to.
What's the best place price for a stainless manifold.

Hi Chris when do you get your car and what's caused you to remove the engine.
I am planning on taking the nobel this weekend to a recommended garage that do stainless exhaust and repairs let you know how it goes.
