Ok me Manifold has a hole in it. well actually a crack. It is right at the bottom and easily accessible. Has any one tried welding them before? Is it do-able.

Also the centre box is still black and clean (except for the scrape marks from the dirt track I live on) however the rest of the system is rusting. Any ideas why? Is there something I can do to prolong the life of the rest of the system.

Preping car for MOT in June. So any other things to check on???

Cheers guys
Mike

Cheers guys,

Wedgegirl, How much do you reckon it will cost?? I'm short of a few pennies at the moment and don't want to waste any ones time.

Got to say a massive thanks to FrenchTVR and Wedgegirl for their hospitality and help.
The car sounded awesome all the way home ( made up for getting soaking wet lol) and I am still shaking from some of the dodgy overtaking I had to do in order to get home before midnight ( Sunday drivers GRRR!)
Cheers guys, I owe you one.
Hope to see you next weekend.

Mike

PS I only just noticed Wedgies post
