i was driving home tonight when i got a wierd clicking noise from the engine, but only when i put my foot down. lifted the bonnet when i got home and looks like the gasket between the head and manifold has gone! could see flames and stuff inside when i revved it. rang my friendly merc dealer who tells me the exhaust manifold gasket is 4 seperate pieces? is this true? and are there any trick or tips for changing them?

cheers simon

Just clean up everything and use firegum both sides of the new gasket. Works a treat!
