Are you the seller? I live in Finland and noticed that seller don't offer international shipping, but I send a message if it's possible.

Good info about those manifold bolts!

No it's not me that is selling. I would think that you can source them locally instead of having to be sent from the UK.

To those who tried this, did it fix the issue long term?

My car went to a new owner (also a member) in February 2016 who used it to travel all over Scotland with his job. It's recently passed on to another enthusiast and AFAIK is still running well.

It's a cheap easy mod and the logic behind it is good. If you're changing the IMG anyway, why wouldn't you do it?

Since I submitted this information 3 years ago my car has done around 36k miles and coolant levels were static, however I recently decided to change on a whim to the alloy vvc manifold with brace. Bit more belt and braces approach that would cost you around £70-100 to purchase the manifold versus the cost of the washers which are very cheap.
