mudmagnet Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I had a tappety noise from the drivers side of the engine which has now turned into a blow around the manifold sound Am I right in thinking that it is the manifold gasket and how easy are these to change Vehicle is a W reg V8 disco 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Could also be a cracked manifold. Gaskets are easy enough, worth looking at replacing the bolts with studs while you're in there though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teabag Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 The Y pipe to manifold gasket blow a couple of years ago and that did make a racket like a machine gun when under load, so that another place to look, mine was blowing at the back to I couldn't see anything.. It stayed like that for a few months untill the disco went in for a service and the aultobox fluid and filter changed which requires the Y pipe to be moved so when it was refitted two new gaskets were fitted. Job done. It looks fiddly but only three nuts to release on each side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
