Whilst looking at a problem with wheel rub (see my previous post) I find that my ARB is touching the sump. There is already a plate welded at the location, so it must be a long term issue. I intend to replace the engine mounts as per previous posts on this subject, but would a new gearbox mount also be a good idea?

I have a blowing exhaust manifold on the nearside and have obtained "genuine" Ford gaskets form a contact at a main dealership. Does anyone recognize the gaskets in the photo? I have seen previous posts with alternative sources, but will probably use the ones I have if they are correct.

As usual, any input appreciated.

They look good to me, all "after market" i've seen consist of three separate gaskets, you should find those a little less fiddley to fit wink

Again, mine is an earlier car so the gaskets arent the same anyway. However, I know what you mean about the winters job list....3 typed pages long at the moment!

My winter jobs list is a body-off chassis refurb, so I'm slightly jealous of you!

What winter?! Fortunately the s has a wonderful heater. New bushings and perhaps some shinny blue and yellow gaz toys but both highly dependant on long I can bear not to drive it! And of course the yearly wax oil everything that is metal and can rust (so everything!), have had the joys of paying for body off outriggers already so trying not to repeat!
