2 cracks. One in 1st branch and bigger one in 3rd branch. I'll try get pics tommorow. Had to leave it at work and come home in the boogie bus. :fail: Cant use my ramps at work to drop the subframe as its a scissor lift and need a 2 poster. Might be able to use one next door tommorow. (Hopefully...

Thanks Karl I'll bear it in mind. I just got a gasket yesterday as I thought it was only that. Took it off and it seems fine. Gutted lol

not what i wanted to hear.... Looks like im going home in the works van :( The gasket seems fine, so it must be somewhere else. Its somewhere on the manifold though as its doing that "ticking" noise you get. I'll keep updating hopefully might help someone else out one day...

I work in the trade mate so seeing if anyone can do anything for me. Thanks for the advice, if mine is cream crackerd, is your mani in the for sale section?

French.:001_rolleyes:

the swift sports are crap imo. Test drove one before i got my clio, probably better on juice though... Mk6 Golf R or Audi RS3 Sportback for me straight outta the box. Or a Polo G40/turbo for modded/older car.

Hi all Didnt really know what to put as the title lol basiclly I've noticed my car seems to be very very jerky in slow moving traffic. Eg. Your in 1st/2nd gear low revs, no matter how gentle i lift my foot off the gas it seems to "jerk". Its very annoying and not sure what it could be...
