Unfortunately another issue has reared its ugly head!

The exhaust strted blowing again on thursday, had a look at it today and its the same bolts have come loose again. Its the bolts from the exhaust manifold down into the turbo.

Does anyone know why they are coming loose?
I may be completely wrong (it happens a lot) but could it be engine mount related at all? My thinking behind that shout is that if there is too much movement from a mount they may come loose?
