Contemplating diving in head first to change my plastic manifold, which I've found out is giving me a big plume of black smoke under hard acceleration and sometimes the Restricted Performance message.

Brand new LR manifolds are a huge wedge of cash, so going to fit a used non-cracked LR one.

I've identified the rubber gasket as LR005898 for the driver's side manifold, but would appreciate guidance on whether this is something best purchased from LR, or are the Britpart, Febi etc replacements ok ?

I've watched the Life as Usual very helpful video on Youtube on how to do it. Looks like a lot of spannering and unclipping going on, which is fine, but concerned about putting the correct blts back in the correct holes. Is it perceived wisdom to put each bolt straight back into the hole it came from and then this gets rid of the problem, or are they all prettty much the same ?

I've changed my aircon condenser myself without too much fuss, so hoping this job is up to my skill level.

Thoughts, tips, help, guidance, advice etc very welcome !

Cheers

Jonny
