Hi all, yet another problem and need some advice. Went out today for about an hour, on returning home i noticed steam coming from under bonnet, i found water sparying from a 2 inch crack in the manifold, directly above the housing for the thermostat. I rushed up the road, altho i jumped a bit to quick and bought a manifold from the engine of a 2.0, mines a 2.3. please tell me they are the same before my marrage is over sob sob
many many thanks
jim

If you can get one for a 2.3 then that would be the easiest, but these are like rocking horse poo, I had to get one from FMD at around £230 from what I remember.
You can use the 2.0 16V one but you need all the bits from and including the air filter box, This has been done by a member but can't remember who to point you in the right direction 
I expect someone will give some more info soon though

that would be me!
yes the 2.0 intake will fit, but it doesnt have the same or as many connection for the vacumme pipes. the break servo pipe is a pain to, as its not shaped to fit the manifold
from memory the cooling system also runs through it on the side, would need to check the car
its a pig of a job but can be done!

Don't think I'd risk paying that for a second hand one, especially if it's the one with £17.75 postage.
I'd get a quote from http://www.fordpartsuk.com/ first (plus gaskets).

Hi Jim...it never rains it always pours 
Before you spend out the cash for another one, you could try repairing it.
If the split is a nice straight one then some quick steel applied to right places should give it a strong repair (my repaired one has now held for 10K miles).
You'll have to repair it inside & out to get the strongest repair, & it can be done whilst still on the car. Just take your time in doing it, to make sure it's a good & proper job 
A tip...you won't be able to see the crack inside, so take a few pictures of it so you can see it properly on your computer. Everytime you put a bit of quick steel on it then take another picture to check if the crack is sealed. 2 or 3 thin layers inside & out should do the job.
Also make sure you clean the surfaces well with some meths etc & roughen up the surfaces with some coarse sandpaper.....gives the quik steel a better holding
Good luck
P.S....you could also try the last method on this post...
