The Little Bandit's (S3c) driving me crazy. Fixed all the ignition problems, only to find that the manifold has a crack in it. Any body know if there is any stuff on the market that will effect a temporary repair??
I've tried "super steel", and it just melts...

That's if its cracked in a place it can be welded - if not replacement route the only option. Mine cracked in the centre of where the four pipes meet - cost me £500 at RT
