Minor? V6 Freelander Probs

Having just had Inlet Manifold replaced - OUCH!
also had following probs noted.....
Minor Coolant leak by Thermostat Housing - I believe this is a ***** to get to?
Rear Diff Front Mount Worn - believe this is a common prob with no geniune fix - only replace and wait for it to happen again?
Prop CV Gaiter Split - this entails a NEW PROP SHAFT!!!! - surely this aint true?

Any help / Ideas appreciated.

I have almost the same prob mate!! changed the thermostat,HG,Expansion bottle but still coolant lost.do not know exactly they go!!
most probably rear diff front mount worn indicate by a jerky transition from 3rd to 4th gear when engine still cold.solution: make sure enigne is warm enough or go up to 3rd for a while.
inlet manifold ratlled, still waiting used part from uk...
I am kinda nervous driving the car actually would be the next problem. thinking of engine replacement (non LR) but still no luck.

just replaced my inlet manifold at the price of £158.00 got part from www.partsgateway.co.uk and it was delivered to my door next day they are breakers and shearch across the country for you any part for any car cannot fault them give it a try you just enter your part and they email you back with price

Re Inlet Manifold - several threads on this one - I just bit the bullet and paid full wack to have it done - £711 . I usually get stuff from Breakers - but as this is SO critical to engine performance, decided to go to agent this time - car is new to me - so had it given the once over at the same time. Lots of peeps say V6 is Good lump - so will stick with it, but if it really is nbg then will seriously think V8!
