Cheers for the info Autoad, i was aware of the Manifold/downpipe spacer, tho not too much of a prob, nice one for the sizing too. I havnt had much time to search for a lump for the last week or so, its killing me seeing it every morning just sat there not getting used....and with the tax just ...

As for the dodgy lifting i'd been ...
