That was at the time when the engines were still 900 quid too, so we bought a low mileage engine and spent another 700'ish quid on the redesigned manifold and all the shit to go with it.
You didnt need to buy the manifold just buy the new flaps cost about 6 quid in total.
When I bought them the lad behind the counter punched in my reg and said that they wouldnt fit my manifold and that I needed to spend £700 on the new manifold. I bought them anyway and they were a direct replacement the robbing bastards just wanted the £700 out of me for nothing.
