the exhaust manifolds link to a adapter piece which joins the bottom of turbo(swirl motor ) and the exhaust downpipe
as my turbo is ok. i could disconnect the swirl motor( fit resister) and no exhaust gases go back though turbo. so dont matter what comes of my flexible pipes that are broken
does that work

Sorry you have lost me. The swirl motor is attached to the intake manifold and directs the air in to the engine.
The exhaust gases exit the engine via the exhaust manifolds and flow through the turbo in order to spin it up and generate pressure in the intake system. Disconnecting the swirl motor has no effect on the exhaust gases going through the turbo. If exhaust gases didn't go through the turbo it wouldn't work.

Hi Simon
my lack of understanding of how it works, i just assumed as thats where all the pipes went thats what it did,
so there is nothing i can do but get the manifolds replaced and hope turbo is ok , the car runs fine at moment but due to the broken flexible parts i think its only time before parts break down inside the pipe ending up in the turbo.
how mush time is involved in changing both the manifolds?
A couple of hours and a very flexible wrist but thats us doing it,you will deffo need a swivel headed ratchet to get to the manifold fixings,the manifolds were attacked from underneath if that helps

watching a video on youtube, i understand now how it all works. easy when you know how.
makes me wonder why there dont supercharge them instead. trucks are i thnk, i know not as efficient. but if more reliable, but maybe they dont want reliablity
It has been rumoured that I do.......lol
It may look easy on you tube but it's not easy due to the lack of space,trust me,I got one of our lads with the skinniest hand and fingers to do the job and he was finding it a bit tight

my mistake, the way TD works looks easy. Not the manifolds.
would you recomend doing both sides if 1 has gone?
drove to wednesbury today and back to kent, my repair lastest 200 miles, gases getting back into car when sitting in traffic. think there my be a bit to much pressure for my DIY repair, will jack it up tomorrow. Maybe wrap a backed bean tin round it
are thee any recommended repairers in kent or nearby, or where are you?
If one gone then yes replace both as the ones we replaced both had gone in exactly them same place give or take a mm,if its the flexi that's gone you won't be able to repair it successfully but you can get flexi repair pieces but you have to cut the old one off and weld in the new and they may not have your bore or length and if its welded to cast then there's another problem. We welded one up on a Disco 3 TDV6 a couple of years ago as it was £400 to buy,it lasted a year so we had to replace it and that was a right b1tch to do
If the flexi that has split is on the downpipe that goes from the turbo outlet to the exhaust dpf (under the car) no metal will have gone through the turbo and destroyed it and you will just need to replace that section.
