i think i have already done that lol, i have kind of sorted it for now, i bought all the gaskets i need to sort my manifold, come to do it and whoever had the car before me has snapped the bolt off on the 1 side of the exhaust manifold, i have managed to use exhaust putty for now, i know it wont last but at least i now know what the problem is, just got to find a way of getting the rest of the bolt out the engine, i have a feeling the others will snap off aswell because they all look very rusty as if its never been touched from new.
