The manifold gasket blew on the way home, not his fault but he came all the way through to mine and replaced it - on a Sunday! I saw the gasket he took out, it was brand new but had blown at two places for some strange reason, so he replaced it with a different make of gasket. Can’t ask for better service than that!
I went out for a wee blast there, was heaven
car now running perfect!!
