    Local Citroen parts wanted £48 which I thought was taking the piss really. I have got some on that are stainless but you have to tighten them up by allen key and it's a joke tightening them up on the bottom 4.

    So I am after some like the original ones with the bolt and thread anyone know were I can get them from apart from Citroen as that is a joke for 8 bolts and 8 nuts!

    Why not get a allen key for a ratchet?

    It makes life so much easier. Only a couple of quid from Halfords.

    I just looked and they charged me for 2 sets of washers...wondered why I had 10 spare lol.

    It's more like £18 then for everything which included the gasket

    I think if I just give them the part numbers that may be easier for them in the future as it seems like they struggle

    Yeah they probably got you a pricefor a refurbed manifold brand or something shit like that. Europarts do them dirt cheap if you stillhave no luck at Shitroen
