Found the problem...

[Mr.P]

Well as some have read that I had a blow from the exhaust, so thought it was coming from number 1 port so Friday I changed the gaskets over as well erm....





as you can see they weren't really healthy. So they got replaced with 2 Vauxhall ones.

Well bolted it all back together and thought that should work, low and behold it didn't so next thought was that the manifold flange may be slightly warped.

So with that in mind I set about stripping the van down this morning to remove the whole setup and attack with a grinder but I don't need to do that as much now as I have found my problem...



Yep that will be the problem then. So just need to get it welded and back on then should be ok for a while.

[Mr.P]

Well I have dropped it off to my mate for him to weld it up for me. So Friday it will be going back on hopefully...

[Gairo]

Oooh keep us posted mate Glad it wasn't something more sinister...or expensive

[Mr.P]

That's bad enough mate as that's the whole front end stripped down to get that bugger out.

[Gairo]

I ain't surprised mate

[ANT-VXR]

[Mr.P]

Im glad I have to as it was starting to annoy me.

it shouldn't take that long to put back together just need to order some nuts and bolts and should be an easy job

[Mr.P]
