Thanks Simon, I have contacted ford and the cost for a new manifold is £176.00 + VAT.
£206.80 incl VAT for the manifold (so there web site price is incorrect).

But I think they still think they have overcharged us with the labour.
Considering they have done this conversion many times before.. they struggled with the fitment of a new power steering pipe (this took them ages to fit – so more hours charged) and PE told us it was the wrong part.
We had to tell them it was the correct part, after confirming this with Ford & TOTD.
PE sold us a new manifold that wasn’t required after telling us the old manifold is faulty/bent.. clearly BS so they could make more money.

Would you be happy to pay £600 for PE to fit a ST170 manifold, CAT, Flexi Pipe, power steering pipe, dip stick tube and exhaust system.. I think NOT. The quote we had be given over the phone was £235 incl vat to fit this.
So that’s + £206 for the new manifold. that still only £441.
As you can understand everyone that I know will be told to stay clear for PE. We have left a message for Richard @ PE to call us back to discuss.

Well I'm glad to have helped at least.

Like I say I dont think they would rip you off on purpose as I dont think they are that kind of firm. But its happened to you not me, so you have to sepak as you find.

Hope Dickie calls you back and sorts things out with you.
