Just a bit of info for you if you haven't done this job before.
It took me 12 hours in total !!!
I have had the "chuffing" exhaust manifold noise for quite a while now and finally, I managed to get a pair of new manifolds for the right price.
What a pain of a job they are to change!
The left hand (passenger) side was fairly straight forward to do but did take a couple of hours to change.
The right hand (drivers) side was an absolute swine to do as there is far less wriggle room.
I ended up taking the front wheel off and removing the inner wheel arch.
Then had to remove the starter motor - again, not easy to access at all.
This gave me just enough wriggle room to get the old parts off and then replace with the new.
If you are going to attempt this one, allow lots of time.
