inlet manifold gasket replacement 1999 2.0 HDI

[elmtreeandy]

Good morning folks, a simple request. Can i replace the inlet manifold gasket without too much huffing and puffing? I have narrowed down the air escaping squeal that assaults my ears to the inlet manifold. The manifold was removed and refitted by an idiotic myopic Spanish mechanic who wrecked my engine when he incorrectly fitted a new timing belt. So much for preventative maintenance I must have benn mental to let him near it in the first place (local Peugeot agent is no better - changed the EGR then told me the turbo was naff (nowt wrong with that either). The full story will be turned into a blockbuster novel and oscar winning film one day. It's my birthday today and at my age I should be enjoying a peaceful life in the Spanish sun. In case you forgot, the originaal question was, how easy is it to replace the inlet manifold gasket? Thanks in advance.
