I doubt they put excess fixings on. Heat cycles might warp it over time and then you're looking at a new manifold. Sooner rather than later you're going to have to tackle it. Can you get at it with the wheel-arch liner removed?

Me? No, I have barely time working on it. She's off getting the ignition timing sorted at a garage anyway over the winter, and going by how bad the manifolds look, I'd might just add that to the bill.

I was, again, ready to sell it. Boe there are two trips on the horizon, Tunesia and Iceland, potentially starting with Tunesia next November. So she got a new purpose for at least another two years. Gives me time to sort out the interior, the paint job budget will go to the engine.

Changed power steering fluid as not been done in a long time. It wasn't too bad actually but better safe than sorry

I was lazy and changed the fluid in the reservoir a couple of times
