A Lexia check will be no worries at all. I just need to find a good excuse for a trip over your way, not that I need much of an excuse!!! Bit concerned the suspension drops so soon after stopping. How far does it drop? Right down or just a tad? Just a tad is normal enough?
How long does it take for the stop light to go out on the first start of the day? 7-8 seconds after 30mins is very good...
I (and Xac) will be most interested in the manifold gasket replacement.That's about the method I thought might work but it'll be good to know for sure that it does...
I did wonder about removing the manifold studs from the head and then you could just slip new gaskets in a relatively small gap. Trouble is, there's very little opportunity to clean off any accumulated carbon if it's done this way.
I can see this car will be looking showroom fresh in a very short time
