Bits and Bobs

Anybody know how much I would be looking at paying for the exhaust
manifold for a 200 discovery - the 4-1 one which runs straight to the
turbocharger - mine's got a non-obvious crack which I only discovered
by accidentally dumping water on it yesterday while filling the washers
and then watching the steam being blown off in odd directions.

Also, my front disks and pads are running a bit close to the limits -
any thoughts on original parts vs EBC Turbogroove/Greenstuff - the
car's already got braided brakelines, so that improvement's already
done - do the EBC parts help the braking substantially over standard
parts? Other than reduced pad life, are there any other downsides?

Cheers.

No way you can get it welded ?

Maybe, but it's cracked in at least 2 locations and I'm beginning to
suspect the casting. I've also got the basic problem of getting the
manifold to the welder when it's off the car as I don't have other
wheels.

There's also the other interesting problem of separating it from the
Turbo without resorting to large scale percussive devices which may
destroy it - AFAICT they've never been separated and the bolts have
rusted up.
