Think I'm going to have to take the exhaust manifolds off to find the leak not sure they will split from the exhaust without tears though. One side is studs, the other looks like it's been drilled out and nuts and bolts of thru
Why don't they use brass nuts anymore?

Think outside, no box required.
Very common to snap the studs I snapped all mine off and replaced them with nuts/bolts, sometimes you can be lucky and they come off or you wind the stud out with the nut..Think I'm going to have to take the exhaust manifolds off to find the leak

A good soak of plusgas and a wire brush to clean the threads would be what i'd do!
Bcoz they've all been frozen off monkeys....Think I'm going to have to take the exhaust manifolds off to find the leak

4yrs of ownership of my "lovely" P38
16k miles in all that time and it's only broken down ehh 8 times but to be fair to it most of those were operator error and/or initial ignorance of the EAS system!
Just completed a good trailer haul up to Pembroke with my friends DSE on the back and it towed like a champ even returning a pretty respectable 8mpg
I might of throttled it a tad but where is the fun in going slow
Next things to do are sort out the HVAC and bodywork maybe even fix the radio

Jumped in the old girl this afternoon to go fetch the wife from her dads. Turn key glow light goes off turn key, nothing all dash lights that should be were on but no crank to start. Turned off and tried again, still nothing THEN the brain fog cleared and I looked down at my left hand holding gear lever in drive position, back to park and fires up first turn. Is it old age or am I just going mad. Ah well could have been worse
Heard about someone doing that once after a major rebuild. Went to turn the key and nothing. Stripped loads of bits down again, turned left, nothing. Then wife comes in to the garage to see what the fuse is about and sees is still in gearJumped in the old girl this afternoon to go fetch the wife from her dads.

It is possible to replace them without the speshul tool but it's a pain.the bushes don't have a metal sleeve it's hard plastic and a little bigger than the hole diameter so needs constricting while pressing in,I used jubilee clips and plenty of lubricant.the tool allows you to press the bush through a taper into the hole.good luck.think I soaked them in hot water first.
Any particular reason? Will i have to cut them off?
