In terms of tips for others I found that it was much easier to remove the old manifolds if removed all the bolts from them. I just used long nosed pliers. When I put the new manifolds on I used cable ties as you suggested but put them with the ratcheting side of the cable tie reversed so I could just slip them off later. Trying to cut the cable ties deep over the back on the driver's side was a bit tricky. I put a little high temp silicone into the sharp corners at the back because saw the existing one had been weeping over there. Getting the rear injectors out with a slide hammer I had was basically impossible so I ended up putting the slide hammer M14 nut onto the top of the injector and then levering the rear one up using the massive viscous fan holding tool. It's just there's so little clearance under the windscreen cowl.

    Nice one. I've been massively impressed with my P1S. I would recommend printing a riser for the top glass. The main reason is the tube rubs on the top glass and rubs away the tube / pits the glass. It will also allow you to have the front door closed for PLA as they have vents on them that you can open and close. and third you can put some extra lights in so you can see it printing better. And with the door closed and vents open its much quieter and it stays at around 35-37 depending on weather (am in the uk and no ac). Another good print is a little ramp for the front bottom just bellow the glass to allow easier clean-up. And finally some removal tools for some of the connectors on the back. Sometimes when you need to work on it removing these parts is a pain as the clips are facing the back wall of the printer so a tool is very useful. Look forward to more videos. Cheers.

    Just completed this job today on my partner's 2012 Discovery 4 SDV6 (3.0), after deliberating whether to give the job to a local Land Rover specialist, having read and listened to the horror stories about removing the dastardly oil cooler. Being the eternal problem solver I decided not to let someone else have all the fun and so I started work first thing this morning (well 09.00 anyway!) and after a couple of hours of removing all the usual bits, I finally worked my way down to the oil cooler, at which point I sat down with a nice cuppa and took another good old gander at the official Land Rover digital video which explains the "Correct" removal procedure for the offending item. Refreshed by the brew and inspired by the video, I got back in the garage and started pushing and pulling and twisting as per the video (the oil cooler that is...). Surprisingly and possibly luckily, it would seem that if you study the video closely and jiggle the oil cooler constantly, as you're manoeuvring it exactly as per the video, it actually comes out!!! It's an incredibly tight fit, so much so that at no point during the extraction was it not touching the block or the manifolds, or a combination of the two. I'm not saying it was easy by any means but it is do-able.....just! I was quite prepared to cut the oil separator mounting bracket if needed, which ultimately gave me the confidence to do the job in the first place, so many thanks to Mr. PlasmaDrive for a truly great video.

Then I followed their example and made a metal plate and fixed it in place over the crack using high temperature JB Weld. My reasoning was that for a few dollars, I'd take a chance..... So far it's worked an absolute treat! It has not only sealed the crack but it's strenghhened the whole manifold substantially, I would say it's better than new and I don't say that lightly as I'm a fussy bugger at the best of times. So, my advice would be to watch LR Time's videos and for a total time of about 2 - 3 hours plus $125 you won't have a problem any more! 😊

      Mine was a new part, they are laser welded or something, guess you could try glue but with all that oil and heat I don't know if it would work.

    I've just discovered that in the step where I change the "start marking" port setting from 2 to none, if you instead set the option from high to low the button on the handle of the laser will start the current job 👍

    Just did this job yesterday (well the dismantle part) - very good video - saved me an hour of swear words trying to wiggle it out because it felt so close and almost achievable (I tried for 2 minutes) but I ended up doing the manifold trim instead. Mine was leaking oil externally via the little tell tale weep hole near the oil filter - means it was leaking past the gaskets internally. Your video helped me decide to do it myself after already paying a mechanic to replace my inlet manifold as they wrongly thought that was the source of the leak.

      It is so tantalisingly close to coming out but you have to draw the line somewhere eh 👍

      I have just taken the offending part apart, it turns out mine was also leaking from the weephole just behind the top water inlet. It was so dirty you couldn't see it when in the car.

    Planned to do this job today and looked up what it entails one last time, great narration, camerawork and perfect timing for me. Thought I would also encounter the issue with the oil separator bracket, you've saved me a lot of shouting and swearing. Did you have any issues removing the glow plugs? Seen a few videos saying to get the engine hot before attempting removal

    • @plasmaDave

      Thanks it was a trial. Fortunately I live in an area that doesn't suffer corrosion much so my glow plugs came out very easily even with a cold engine.
