Hi, was wondering if anyone knows how much a new one of these manifolds are as I've just checked mine and after only 3 1/2 years its crumbled at the edges where it should make a seal with the engine  
I'm assuming no one does cheaper after market ones because of the design.
Any help would be appreciated at the part dep is closed now

Don't bother with any after markwet ones for a 1.0
Get one the same from a breakers yard and get an exhaust place to fit it.
Is it actually leaking? Put a rag over the tailpipe and try and see if it leaks.

Yea I can see the hole right at the engine block.. I'm not after an aftermarket one for performance just incase anyone done one cheaper but it would be a long shot... Proberly will have to be one from the scrappy on my budget but has anyone had one from vauxhall and know the rought price of a new one?

well how much is it going to take for either of you's to part with the manifold I'm going to take it off tomorrow to make sure its defintely that that is causing the leak.. but I'm 95% sure it is.
