I used JB Weld first. Lasted about a week then heat expansion made the repair come away.

I did mine this morning and used q bond with the black powder. Not tried it yet but its set rock hard so I'm hopeful! Will see how this goes Current 2007 TDV8 Vogue Buckingham Blue |

So it looks like sikaflex does a long term job - I'm pleased I've now got some if/when the JB weld fails.

Watching with interest. Does the 4.4 tdv8 manifolds have this trouble? ______________________________

The 4.4 manifolds and air intake have had 1 revision with Microcat showing them first installed on the first L405. However with all the minor engine improvements in early 2012-built vehicles I suspect that the revised parts may have been introduced at the same time. Maybe one day I'll check mine's air intake to see if I can find anything indicating that it is the revised part. |

I saw a YouTube video of Bondic UV activated sealer/repairer and I thought it might work on cracked inlet manifolds

You may need to leave it to warm up a bit and get someone to rev the engine to see the bubbles. Current 2007 TDV8 Vogue Buckingham Blue |

The split on the top left of the engine block. Remove the plastic cover and it's by the injectors on the left side.

To the left of the two grey plugs is the top of the inlet manifold and it normally splits at the top. Here is a pic of mine when I put the soapy water on to track down the air leak. The angle is from the driver's side of the engine bay so different angle
