I test drove this car and it has a very slight wobble at 60mph and the car genraly does not feel right i would check that it is straight i hope your didnt pay over the odds for it seb (the owner ) is a nice bloke but over priced it by £500 he wanted £1000 for it if you brought it for that you may have made a mistake good luck!

[PowertecETU]

Usualy the exhaust manifold broke.. very usualy, check the gasket... if not weld.

 

[unoturbo1]

u can take the inlet manifold off from looking at it i done it before and then the exhaust manifold is in your face

Any updates on this?

If you get it up on axle stands and crawl underneath to get a reasonable view of the manifold with one of those extra-bright LED torches, you may be able to see where the exhaust's escaping.

I seem to remember being told (by SteveNZ) that the manifolds crack where 1 and 4 cylinder pipes join to 2 and 3.

Anyway, the manifold will have to come off to get a crack repaired, or if it's just the gasket, it still has to come off either way... so dive into it I think you need to drain the cooling system (since the turbo is plumbed in). Best of luck!
