    Bassically m new car is blowing at the mani. Due to there being a nut missing fromt the mani to engine connection.

    What size bolt it is and how easy to get to it?

    Is the mani heat shield needed to be removed?

    not sure what size of bolt, but yes heat shield will need to be removed as I can't imagine getting to the mani studs withough removing it, although none of my cars had exhaust mani shields for long lol

    I had like 2 sets of inlet and exhast mani studs but just gave em to my mate lol Not sure how easy it is to get one though as I had to get the 2 sets rather than just one like, could easily be the parts monkey at teh local citroen being a gimp though haha

    I have a feeling they're 13mm, but don't quote me on that. I seem to remember them being that size when I destroyed a few. You do need to remove the manifold heatshield, to be honest you don't really need it.

    Probably about 26p or something stupid, if you just want one then when they have it, ask if you can pay on card. They normally just give them to you, done that each time I needed grille clips or mushroom clips.
