That was something I had thought of but wasn't too sure the symptoms fit.
That might make good sense as it's quite noticeable on acceleration from a standing start.
Assuming that it is a broken bolt, that means it needs to come out which means expensive workshop time
Do I need to do the whole de-web and enlarged bolt holes, as it's not chipped and not likely to be as my insurance premium is going to be high enough for the next 6 years

Checked the manifold today, all looks okay. No sign of soot anywhere.
Also had a closer look at the hubs, they look brand spankers.
Although the staked nuts are hardly what I'd call staked. Mildly dented perhaps.
