Or a split inlet manifold. They love those. Get your codes. Is it a 3.6? If so and you have a "boost correlation fault" it will almost certainly be a boost hose or a split manifold.

Will probably replace hoses as matter of course.
Thoughts?

The EPB has a fault red light and beeping it's head off as well.

L322 - Let's have your technical opinions then. Coolant leak and cracked manifold?

My latest financial mistake is causing me the expected bother. To be clear, I bought this 2009 facelift car based on half a dozen pics and the description "run and drive - yes" from and auction and had it delivered. (more detail in the intro section). So, I was absolutely not expecting to...
