Yes Or No?

[Nick The Greek]

I'm off work tomorrow and possibly friday due to a damaged coccyx bone from skiing.

If the weather is dry....

Should I attempt to fit my de-catted manifold?

[Rob]

dont want to mess with a damaged coccyx - take it easy and do it another time, otherwise it may well cause you years of pain if u dont properly

[Bazza]

ooouch !!

deepest sympathies

been there done that

wouldnt want to ever do it again

[Nick The Greek]

well, not 100% sure it's the bone yet.

Off to the quacks tomorrow to check.

Pain is in that region though, although not sore to touch, only when moving, kind of suspecting it's muscle related, but still want to get it checked out.

so everyones voting no? :D

just leaning over the same part in the engine for long enough makes my back legs ache a bit, im imaging that changing the manifold is not going to be a quick an easy job, so prob best to leave it to somewhen when your backs better, (time of with flu :winky: in a couple off weeks or so should do it )

You will also need to get under the car so that means lying on your back unless you have the car up on a ramp :duh:

oh really?

hmmm, bugger bollocks, i might struggle with that

[Rob]

u will also have to split the steering shaft at the universal joint, and also maybe best to remove the rear sensor to prevent any damage to the wiring, during manifold removal.

for the manifold itself there are 2 bolts that connect it to the rest of the system, these require access under the car

[Nick The Greek]

I see.

I think I shall see how I feel tomorrow, and what the weather is doing.

I've got all day, so I can take my time.

I've also got ramps, jack and axle stands, so raising car shouldnt cause a problem.

As the Grolsch man might say......"Ssstop sstop you're coccyx bone isn't ready yet"

[Nick The Greek]

Well, I was quite up for this today, but it's bloody snowing out!!!!
