Default Thank you all

Many thanks for all the advice/ideas from top class re engineering to bush engineering fix. A spare new “peg nut” came with the car so will compare that to the one fitted and also remove the manifold to have a closer inspection. I have the time as frustratingly cannot really go anywhere, like the rest of us I guess. Stay safe.

Default Exhaust manifold

Just to say I have managed to effect an airtight joint by using Holts sealant but suspect it will not survive any spirited driving so I am looking for a decent spare manifold (rear) with good threads. Just PM me if you have one or know of one.

Default Manifolds sorted

Just to say many thanks to Bill at Pegasus for sorting some decent manifolds for me. At the moment my use of Holts sealant is working well and have yesterday driven my 401 along the beautiful Devon roads for the first time for months.
