Has anyone had any recurring probs with 12v corsa's blowing the gasket between the cat & the manifold. Mines keeps blowing, lasted 50miles after I spent 5hrs stripping & rebuilding it! It's done it five times now & it's about to mysteriously catch fire!  Anyone able to help me on this? Cheers peeps! 
just changed it from V12 to 12v

Maybe you should take it to an exhaust place to get it sorted?

I have just changed my 1.0 12v manifold gasket recently at 36k miles. Now at 38k, the actual exhaust manifold has cracked! That is also apparently common.

Mines was alegedly done under warranty, but all they did was patch my cat with chemical metal, wanks! Exhaust place tried to pull my pants down, going to local engineering place who are a good bit more trustworthy. Torque settings are ok unless the haynes manual is wrong.
