Using the old straight pipe won't hurt, providing it's not gone brittle with age. Often the old seals work fine too. The block seals are the ones that fail in time. This is because silicone grease wasn't used in the factory or in subsequent thermostat changes.
well i must say this car is really not wanting to be fixed :censored::censored::censored:
rebuilt it to find its now leaking from the back fuel rail ahhhhhh ,took pullem back off so i cant have a look and its leaking from the injector next to the alternater i cant seem to get the rail to connect correctly over the o ring !!!!!
i was getting mad (had a big hammer in my hands lol)
so ive packed away and left it for today

Is the O ring seal there? If so, apply some engine oil to all the O rings and the injector stubs when assembling. This should help them engage correctly.
right yet another day thats making me wish i had not started this car lol im sure its trying to say dont fix me :censored::censored::censored:
right the fuel leak !!!!!
what a #### !!!!! i had to undo the clip to i could retrive a o ring
put back together and still leaking but in a major way !!!!
a bung /cap had fallen out of the fuel rail and into somewhere around the engine
luckly i found it after searching for a hr will refit tomorrow
BUT WHILSE LOOKING FOR THE BUNG I FOUND SOMETHING I DID NOT WANT TO FOUND WHY THE IRD WAS LOW ON OIL!!!!
where the drive shaft goes into the ird there was what looked like thick mud around the area of the oil seal
it was looking damp and after further looking it was oil so i pulled a bit off to my hor
as you can see from below video

The IRD end plate might be available from someone with a damaged IRD. I've only seen that once before. This was on a V6 that someone had done the timing belts, taking the weight of the engine by jacking under the drive shaft. The weight of the V6 is more than enough to crack the IRD end plate. It's not the end of the world, but it's another job and a new bearing / seal too. Didn't you find a broken lower tie bar bolt? I would say that the two are connected.
This poor Freelander has had a rite muppet working on it.

I believe all IRD end plates are the same across all models. There is no need to remove the IRD to change the end plate. The drive shaft rewires removing as does the IRD support bracket. Then it's just a case of unbolt the bolts holding the end plate on.
It's not a difficult job, just another one to add to your list.
cool ,thanks for reply
i will have to try and find a local scap yard around here either holland or germany but will be hard im sure as i only speak english
i dont mind finding all these bits ,its just a pain that someone in past has broke bits and instead of repairing them has just cowboyed the problem
oh well looks like i will be getting dirty again lol

Try this seller. He's a complete cock as he's selling parts for both td4 and v6 when they're not the same, but he may have case parts. I have never used him.

well started a good day but finished pooooooo
Bells eng got back to me and can do the ird part and bearing sent to germany for a fair price so well happy with that seems a real nice bloke from the email he sent .
BUT THEN I TOOK HER FOR HER RETEST after she had failed last time on the idle on emissions
this time the emissions was a total fail and i mean total!!!:censored:
not sure if ive do something wrong when i put it all back together after the thermosate but here is the print out
as you can hopefully see it failed so so so bad
my odb2 thing will not work with this car which again seems like another kick in the bollocks as it works with all other cars ive tried it with ,that and torque
its a
anyway the nice man at the mot put his on it and came up with this
which i think is saying lamba sensor bank 1 ?????????
if that mines its a lamba where is bank 1 ? as im sure from when ive been under the car theres about 3 or 4 things that look like lamba
and if a lamba is down would that course such high readings???
i must say to be honest this car is def trying my patiences :censored::censored::censored:

Looks like an O2 sensor to me. Bank 1 is the rear manifold O2 sensor from memory. Make sure the wiring is sound.
In reference to your ELM not connecting. Try squeezing the contracts in the socket. There was a fault where some sockets contacts were to wide. This stopped some readers from working.
