I've just this minute finished removing the inlet manifold from my ML (Not a great job in this weather!!) and am now considering my next step; should I buy a new inlet manifold and fit that or do I plug the holes in the old one and refit that with the motor working but disconnected?
The existing one appears to be the original with 130k miles and 12 years under it's belt so if I do replace it with a new one it will probably see the car out, however the cost of a new one would buy a lot of wine or a remap (probably wine).
Has anyone had experience of either or both approaches and have any sage advice they could pass on that will help me decide.
For what it is worth I am swaying towards plugging the holes up but am definitely open to changing my mind if there are compelling reasons to do so.
Thanks in advance for all the help I have no doubt you guys will have.
Cheers,
Martyn
