Update!
Spoken with my dad this evening weighing up my options.
So Saturday I’m driving back Kings Lynn way to drop the Clio off for a week at my dads workplace, of which they have all the tools they’ll need to get the manifold off, and inspect the flexi’s, of which they will assess how repairable it is!
So I get the joys of a totally different kind of Renault for next week.... a Kangoo they use as a run around!
I’m going to invest in some uprated engine mounts to be delivered there next week, I’ve looked at KTEC ones, but I believe most that have done this are using powerflex?
In terms of the exhaust, my dad’s friend works close with Scorpion in BSB, and provided a contact who said they’re more than happy to assist with getting system!
Who knows if all goes to pot, I could be turning up to the Xmas doo in a Kangoo, any mod recommendations?
