I tried to start removing the old, rusty exhaust today and guess what.
Yup.
First bolt sheared off flush with the head, despite a week of soaking with Plus Gas.
I really haven't got the drive or facilities to strip everything, drill and tap the thread etc., so does anyone know a good VW T25 mechanic anywhere near West Oxfordshire who could tackle the job for me? I'm guessing all the manifold studs are going to be similarly awkward, so really don't fancy tackling it myself.

You could try Farmoor Garage, they are great with T25s if that helps.
