check your manifold studs, one of the exhaust ones has been known to break off

NO 1 manifold stud. The only one you can see. Just above and right of the alternator. Easy to get fixed.

YOU GUYS ARE GOOD, IS IT AN EASY FIX ? OR A SPECIALIST FIX FOR BIG BUCKS ? CHEERS, LEE

You may be able to remove the bust bit with a stud extractor.(easy fix)
Or. Have it drilled out and helicoiled. Any decent garage, less than £ 100

Easy for a garage, they drill it out and fit a helicoil - average price seems to be about £60.

Maybe they have been deafened by the noise, and don't realise they are shouting

it is because when you post in capital letters instead of lower case it is considered shouting

distance makes no difference
