I'll let it run a wee while longer before I let you know...
My parts cost me (2nd hand mind!) £56.99 - fitting at circa £40/hour at Falkland

How many hours did Falkland say it would take them though Greg?
Should be two at the most BTW and even that's pushing it.

We'll see Dan - would've popped it down your was, but its declared 'off road' so would've needed a trailer

pain in the a$$ logistics
We'll see how long they take - only thing I can see taking a while is if the studs are rusted...touch wood!

Even so, I've never come across any that couldn't be undone with releasing oil and a windy gun.
Look forward to hearing your experiences.

£189 - 4 hours work (apparently old lambda was a pig!) and an exhaust manifold gasket.
All in (parts included), £500 less than MMC were going to charge!

I'd appreciate you copying this info to the thread about MMC Edinburgh at the top of the 'meets' section. This is exactly the sort of quantifyable info we need.

Yeah, £189 is a lot of money to change a manifold.

Glad you got it sorted Greg, the S2 version is much better.
