MANIFOLD BLOWING

[PC-PLOD]

exhaust manifold blowing where it joins down pipe to cat is it possible that just the gasket is gone or do the manifolds fail in that area car revs fine untill you have to go up hills then it struggles checked and its blowing around the manifold join. Any ideas where to get a gasket if it is that and how difficult to do

The gaskets are rather easy to obtain, and are on eBay for a few quid. I'd try one of these first.

Avoid the ebay ones like the plague, they're crap, never fit right & always blow. Unfortunately the only reliable solution is to get a genuine one but they're not cheap http://renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/prod...8Front%29.html
