When I got there they said yeah you need a new manifold but we sold the last one yesterday (cheers). They offered me a 2nd hand standard RS cat for £400 and said they nearly £1000 new so I getting a bargain. Said would they fit a de-cat and they said no because they're 'against the law' so asked if the could supply one and I would take it to an exhaust fitters nearby to fit it. They said they wouldn't supply one either so really didn't give me much of a choice given I had donr 300 miles to get there. Hence was as good as a full nelson. They said changing the Manifold would fix the boost problem and they took it out for drive and said they had checked it and was fixed. Got in the car and was the same. Puma BUild then saw it was a hose at the back of the engine bay that was split. Story goes on...
Wow I'm shocked
I always found Alistair Mayne spot on but Graham always came over as a bit of a donkey (). This was back in 1993 so it sounds like their standards have slipped.
