If it's completely off expect an annoying whistle at 80+, just one of the little annoying things the previous owner neglected to fix on mine. Think a replacement is under a $100 with shipping.Quote:

Thanks - i need one for left hand side (has broken top clip) but the price makes me question the need vs a dab of sikaflex to secure it...Quote:

Just not enough contact area on the clips.
Agree re the clip contact area - I thought to use a space filler ie a small square of high density foam (thong rubber) and Sikaflex each side as the adhesive.Quote:

When the thing had cooled down I checked and there were no broken studs or evidence of exhaust leaking from around the manifold.
It turns out that I was looking in the wrong place. The gasket between the manifold and the turbo is leaking and there was a missing nut.
Different, eh ? I've not read about one of these failing yet...[bigsmile1] Shouldn't be too big a job if I can get at the bottom two nuts and if none of the studs break.
Oh well, such is Land Rover life I suppose.

I assume that you're changing the head. While you've got it in bits do the timing chain tensioner. I had the head of my old Td5 replaced and about 20k km's later the timing chain tensioner let go which basically wrecked the engine - head and all.
