My td5 broke its studs too and it was totally standard. What I would suggest is get your manifold skimmed flat, open out all the holes except the centre 2 to 10mm and fit some spacers and longer high tensile bolts 12.9. Steve |

Bit of a kop out but I've put it back together in a sort of bush mechanics way, it's my motor I wouldn't pay anyone else to do the job I've done but, it's what a lot of the more spurious garages are capable of
I will get sorted out with some longer studs and repair my angle grinder to open the webs between #1 and #2 and between #4 and #5. Also need to get some helicoils sorted as the front 2 studs are not 100% |

I've always wondered how strong/durable helicoils are? Tell someone you love them today because life is short. But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing... |

If you want to make a thread in aluminium stronger, helicoil it with a steel helicoil. |

Or use the Wurth Time-Serts. In fact there are a few Land Rover TSB's outlining the use of the Time-Serts so they are LR approved.
Also worth buying a set of the JE Engineering stud kits. Same stud diameter s the standard ones so easy to fit. They appear to work well - not yet had one come back in the workshop, even with Alive Stage 4 tuning. |
