Hi Guys

I hope all is well.

Thankfully the problem with the 308 was nothing more that a buggered exhaust manifold. I have attached a pic of the offending item

Anyhow, I unfortunately have been under the whip so left it for some time and only picked her up this morning.

All seems to be going great - temp and all and revving very sweetly.

Holding thimbs for no more issues.

Kind regards

Mike

Glad it was nothing major. Must be prime driving season in SA about now.

Good news Mike. Lots of driving to catch up on now!

Thanks guys

Weather is superb here - very hot and dry (until late afternoons when we have regular swift downpours!)

I am going to try and get a lot of mileage under my belt!

So glad for you, Mike, to hear that the worry is behind you and it was a minor problem. Fun time ahead and drive in safety too.
