I seem to recall a thread on here about this but I can't find it. Anyway, our German friends are doing a TDV6 and have used therm . Could be worth keeping an eye on how they go. Can't link to the vid.

Yesterday. I'd link, but they are known to use the odd verboten word.

For anyone reading in the future, try the video titled "Land Rover Discovery 4 Engine Assembly Done - SDV6 Ford V6 Gen2" on YouTube

These have been around a while now and by all accounts they are good, been mentioned here before.

Bought a set of aluminium manifolds from JLR Parts Center Store on Aliexpress.Look decent quality for the price,but will smooth them up as in LRTime utube.
Meanwhile have done the repair using JBWeld on stainless mesh,couple of months,so far so good!193281

I was wondering about doing that reinforcement prior to them cracking.
