Discovery 1 inlet plenum chamber

I've got a Mk1 Discovery 1997 V8 petrol automatic range rover. I've had a few issues with air leaks most of which are now resolved, but we've hit a brick wall. The plenum/intake chamber needs replacing, its leaking in several places. The garage cant source one. Any alternatives wont work as apparently the fitting on the end differs from other vehicles and therefore they cant find a part to fit. I've tried the usual places. Is there anywhere else I can try? I there a work around to use a different part?

If you mean the aluminum is cracked or developed a hole somehow, epoxy could work to seal the leak. My discos have an upper intake plenum, a lower intake plenum, and an intake manifold. Which one do you need?
