Which model?

Have welded cracked exhaust manifolds before, which I found complete waste of time (will only crack again somewhere else).

I snapped a bolt off at the egr pipe on mine (D22 zd30) and made a meal of drilling it out and re tapping it, so got one off a fleabay wrecker. From memory it was 150 including postage.
