Oil leak

Post by pcdee » Wed Jun 08, 2016 11:51 am

Hello all

The car was at the dealers a couple of months back having a new electronic handbrake actuator fitted.  During their health check they spotted some oil around the bottom of the engine and also around the gear box.  I said I'll re-book at another time.

I took it in yesterday and after their investigation they said I need a new manifold and breather and possible gearbox sump.  They recommended that the manifold was urgent and was quoted just shy of £767 + VAT + fitting.

Can anyone recommend a particular make for the manifold?
