remove it, cut the webs out and then get it machined. Cheers

Manifold warping is very common and generally caused by constant high EGTs, the Allisport is great but like you said very expensive. I wouldn't bother having one made up, chap on Landyzone did and it did not last.
There is a cheaper option http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LAND-ROVER-TD5-M...XQ1ZhTev3~ Thats what I have currently fitted to my 110, hybrid turbo, map, IC the whole lot. I've done maybe 200miles since I fitted it, no leaks or issues thus far but I havnt really pushed it. From what I have read, It could be fine and last or it could warp again sharpish. Though 165 is a lot less than 600! Worth a punt imo. If this one warps ill buy an Allisport but until then it's suitable. I would also suggest sourcing some Wurth mainfold studs, much stronger than the original as well as longer to accept spacers (to allow for expansion without warping), but 15 not 80 like the Allisport/Alive ones... If you stick with standard studs then replace the nuts with copper flashed ones, means you can remove the manifold in the future without snapping the studs!

Thanks bankz5152
Do I need to fit spaces to the Wurth mainfold studs and where would I get those? Ta Tank |

You dont need to fit the spacers, though they help to combat the warping. Currently looking at where to get them, as far as I have found out they are just billet ali or steel so shouldnt be too expensive.
Considering how easy it is to break the studs in the head then have the fear of drilling them out, if they are intact leave them and refit with copper nuts. |

Yes, just properly done. Standard manifold, dewebbed and machined flat as stated in my previous post.

Been fun so far.
Bolts on manifold (right hand side) weren't very tight at all? Loosen due to warping? Good news though, none of the studs have snapped? Think the gasket might have gone hence the noise? Two studs in turbo snapped though, rusted and old age. One to go and think it will snap too 
Great job this is, loving it. Tank |

The metal gasket comprises of 2 pieces crimped together they can come apart upon disassembly.
