Hi!
When I take out to change my Air Filter panel it stinks of fuel!
Rich has told Steve that its probably a leaky injector but Groomy has checked this and it isnt!
Also,I have a loud exhaust but need to know hopw hard it is to send Stevie under the bonnet to change the exhaust manifold gasket as the system itself is fine,weve checked it all out,no blows at all!
Cheers!
Jackie.

Mine does the same. I had even some petrol in inlet manifold (no idea how it came there) I don't matter especcialy about it since my car doesn't run
no car, why drive a car if you can fly SAAB

The exhaust and inlet manifold gasket are one piece. It was a bit of an arse to do on mine because of the turbo but shouldn't be too bad a job otherwise. Inlet and pipes off, detach exhause downpipe underneath, remove the manifolds at the back, clean em up, change the gasket, do it all back up and tis done.
