Cracked manifold .. :(
I've been changing my turbo gasket today as it was leaking .. I actually found that somehow the turbo was loose and once I had disconnected the downpipe it was rattling around.

Whilst I've been doing this I've noticed a small crack in the manifold. It doesn't look like it's leaking, do I need to worry about this?

That crack will undoubtedly propogate with time, and whilst it may be OK for a while you will need to replace the manifold. Big Cry

Hmm .. I'm tempted to go for broke and replace manifold and turbo for a hybrid one now that it's all apart on the drive. I shouldn't have to do this job again then! .. turning into an expensive day! 2008 Defender 110 XS SW - M57N2 / 8HP70X

On second thoughts I just seen the price of a manifold! .. Big Cry .. I'll take it to get the turbo face skimmed and see what they recommend about the crack. .. else it may have to be ebay! 2008 Defender 110 XS SW - M57N2 / 8HP70X

Shouldn't it be the same manifold as for the 2.4/2.2 TDCI Ford-Engines? About 1/5 of JLR price Thumbs Up

The manifold is knackered .. found a transit one on eBay £45 .. turbo is in good condition so skimming the face and put it all back together next week! 2008 Defender 110 XS SW - M57N2 / 8HP70X
