    Sounds like you could also have a seized egr valve as you wouldn't lose full power with a knackered manifold, I had same issue last year and after stripping egr I found the solenoid pin jammed out but repaired it easily following the "how to" on here, worth a punt checking there first to restore some power, I found it scary at junctions nearly getting t boned. Just happens that I'm replacing my inlet manifold this weekend after taking over a year to pluck the courage to attempt myself.

    Yes you will need a new manifold but I don't think it's the cause of your complete power loss, as of Tony's post you could do his fix which would seal the manifold with the flaps open but you would be down slightly on fuel economy as your probably experiencing now, best solution would be to replace but it's whether you have funds available. Good luck
