Looking at the link Arctic sent, Pipe-inlet manifold to heater coolant part no. PEP000130 is this doable without taking the engine out?

That has diesel in it. You could repair it if you know anyone with a TIG welder, or contact Mickyboy on here - he should be able to supply a good used one.

you can get a new one from here, if you do use a second hand one make sure it's not started to corrode in the same place as yours.

I had two back in 2020 but sold them, well at least one from memory.

I also think there are two types i could be wrong.

It's a double job with the engine in place, but not easy by any means, due to the fixings at the back of the engine.

All that above behind the engine, and this fixing at the side of the engine.

I have a feeling you would need to remove the metal intercooler pipe as well.

The photos will only show you the route i am afraid, not how to do the job with the engine in the car.

Thanks for that Steve, there are 2 variants one is for the automatic according to the rimmers link you sent PEP 000130 should be the right one. This is not a job I could attempt alone, but the husband of my sisters friend is a former mechanic and he is going to come and have a look, the part on the ebay link is half the price of rimmers so if the guy is willing to help I will get the new part. I really hope it can be fixed, I don't want to give up this car it's been great to me, I think we have done the return trip to Hungary about 20 times with only a couple of issues that where sorted in Belgium.

Default I'm back,

Ok, sorry for the long delay continuing post, but I was ill for 2 weeks then in hospital for 2 more, then I had to wait 2 weeks for mechanic to fit me in. Anyway it wasn't the coolant pipe leaking it was a clip on the fuel line that had failed. So went in for MOT, failed, 2 broken rear springs amongst other things, but passed now and I am back on the road and job by job I am sorting the many advisories. Replaced the front tyres although they where not on the advisory even after being flat for 2 years and being Avon's with cracked sidewalls and were on the advisory more than 2 years ago. Today I had planned to change the oil and all the filters but the cheap oil pump I bought didn't work so only got round to the fuel, pcv, and pollen filters. So thanks again Steve for your trouble posting help and all your pictures. Dave.
