Swirl Flap - Replacement - DIY guide

Hi
Anyone know of a DIY fix for the dreaded swirl flap?
I have a 2007 model.

Do a search above for "glow plugs" there are a number of very good threads telling you how to go about removing the manifold to get the the plugs.

As for the manifold I believe some a have removed the swirl flaps and the blanked off manifold but I've not done this myself. You might want to get buy a used one from a later engine(LR, Ford, etc) which didn't have them fitted. Again if you search there s couple of thread giving the details and part number you need.

You might also want to change the glow plugs, fuel filer and the seals at the same time.
