yay finaly its been sorted
after taking my car to a few exaust places and replacing the gasket i couldnt understand why it was still blowing
it turns out someone had replaced the 2 exaust bolts with 2 17mm normal bolts meaning at the flexi part of the exaust was solid with no flex so was blowing(mainly in reverse)
so after 3 differnt garages failed to pick up on this or mention they were the wrong bolts i thought i would try replacing the littel springs and while i was at it i bought some new exaust bolts
hey presto jobs a good en :)
think it worked out about £27 for springs/bolts/nuts
a lot cheaper than buying new manifold which 2 garages recomended :?
also learnt most garages are fekkin useless and only know how to fit new exausts :twisted: and will promply fekk up ya car and deny it
