V8 Exhaust leaks??!!
bobtailed disco:
I am getting fed up with the exhaust blowing on my v8 disco. it is blowing from the manifold gaskets and downpipe gasket, I have replaced them a couple of times but it only lasts a couple of weeks and go's again. Does any one know if there is anything i can put on the gasket to help seal it?
Many thanks Rob

Simple solution, get rid of the dreaded V8!! Diesel is the way backward!

Whoa, Whoa Whoa!!!! Don't insult the BBB! She is fine in every way except the engine! Piston Rings, head gaskets etc to be done before xmas!

Mine kept doing that all the time. I used the P38 header gasket, the twin port type that is all ali (lamintated) and OEM downpipe gaskets with exhaust assemply paste. It would last until I towed something then go again.
I binned the pipes and fitted a sports pipe with the same type of header gasket, I think the cats were blocked and it got more economical when i did it.
