I bet your manifold is like a squashed straw. Does anything come out the other end?

Suprisingly yes

It's ok, It has a stainless steel skimmimg plate welded onto the manifold! Just needs renewing occasionally

I take it this is the gear box then?

Shit I'm bad at mechanics.

Looks like you're not sitting with Chris dilemma in the pub may be solved JM!

Nastly , assuming its an F20 gearbox then part numbers for Vaux are:

Differential cover - 90522387
Differential cover gasket - 90344511

As far as I know you can get the differential cover off an F16, F18 or F20 gearbox though so scrapyard might be a good idea

Did you wack it on the ground to do that? I once broke that part but it was from the inside, One of the teeth from a planet gear on the diff had sheared off and went between the main diff cog and the casing. If you didnt hit anything you may need to find out what caused it
