Hi all, i know this is a long shot.

But im wondering if anyone can help me, i've just removed my inlet manifold after the garage couldn't manage sort it the other day.

I wonder why it come away sounding louder than it went in .

3 of the M8 bolts have pulled the thread with them, so as you can imagine. Im really up cak creak without a paddle!

I've tried Machine Mart and non of there stores have a kit in stock as its a new product, im now wondering if anyone else out there can help me?

Many Thanks

Ohh, I think you'll be struggling at this time on a Saturday but I've found a draper part number if it helps

Hi Stu, its looking as though im going to be struggling.

I need the car for work, and cant get time off as we're really short staffed as of late.

I think its time to sell up and move on, possibly buy a brand spanker.

You could try Hillcliff Tools Ltd - they are in Catley Road just of J34.

0114 244 3665

Not sure if they are open at this time but worth a call

I tried them, kept getting a few rings and then it went to the answer machine.

I've resorted to a mix of supersteel and using the remaining thread to align the bolt. Hoping this stuff will hold out.
