I blew my exhaust manifold and now my car sounds like a piece of farm machinery (or a honda?!?).  Oh well, that's a half day job (if the studs don't snap!).

After considering this, I have decided that it is not part of my grand plan ;)

i fixed this car. had a snaped exhaust bolt so i had to pull the whole head off to fix it but i put it back together all nice with new cambelt.

dubstar

And now it runs absolutely mint, Cheers Jem.  Unfortunately the leak from the gearbox has got a whole lot worse >:(

its alot easier to replace those seals than swap the box but sounds like you want the 16v box in anyway.

dubstar

Not really, I just was wondering what the noise was when I let off my clutch.  I thought it could be a bung clutch pushrod, which requires the removal of the gearbox to replace.
