Are there two inlet manifold gaskets that should be replaced?
Thanks.

If you're getting confused, the exhaust (outlet) manifold is very similar looking to the inlet one, I'm not sure if they're identical in shape etc, but on the inlet, there's only one gasket, cost me less than £3 to buy one last time.

Thanks.
Ive been given one by the local motorfactors, they couldnt find one i described (i cant find the picture of it now) but it was the fibre upper inlet gasket.
They gave me what appears - from searching - to be the lower inlet gasket
Ill have to pop back and let them know

Ooh! The gasket is made out of what I can only describe as card, and it'll have 4 ovals in it.
Make sure they give you the one with ovals in it - the round one is for an X16XEL IIRC.
Let me know when its fitted mate, send me pics!
