Hi Guys, im not very mechanicaly minded, just love the driving around lol. Bus was in garage last week, and on my receipt it says 'Advise Exhaust has slight blow from manifold gaskets 1 & 2.
What do I do now?

Thanks in advance

what enjin is it?


barnstaple is 37 miles away from me, in this part of the country you're a neighbour

Best thing to do is leave it alone..unless you want to get involved with snapped exhaust manifold studs etc.

The time to worry is when it starts making so much noise it is obvious from the cab, then be sure you may have to fiddle on with possible broken studs when renewing a gasket.

Unless you have access to heating equipment to heat the exhaust nuts up prior to removing them, then I'm afraid you could snap the studs and may have to resort to letting a garage repair it.
