Anyone got 197 Exhaust Manifold for Sale??

[Des-fae-Ayr]

Had my 197 in at dealer this morning for what i suspected was a burst flexi pipe. Turns out my manifold has cracked. Oh dear sounds expensive.
Havent had a quote from dealer yet as they are trying to claim it on my used car warranty i dont however hold out much hope.
Anyone got a used manifold for sale or know where i can buy a half decent reasonably priced aftermarket job.
Please help as I am feeling the pain of an impending big bill.

THink that might be the plan then. Looks like removing it will be a nightmare. Renault are trying to make a warranty claim for me under the used car warranty but I wont hold my breath on that one. Looks lke spanners out time

well they're crap as standard, so it certainly won't be worse.

Well after kicking up a fuss with the dealer and Renautlt UK. Renault have offered to pay for half and I'm hoping dealer will cough for other half. Watch this space!!!
