grateful for all suggestions :-)
When my exhaust manifold was cracked, I had this same symptom. Have you still got the factory stainless exhaust manifold? If so, it's probably gone....

See this thread... (many images missing sorry).

I'll replace the missing images one day soon...

Here's the manifold I used - good product...
