If it's only the external "bowl", then it should be done in approx 15 minutes + refilling and bleeding the system. Don't know how much one would cost, but I personally would post in the 'parts wanted' section for a used one.

Hi
I think you're talking about the inlet manifold, that's the part of the thermostat housing that bolts to the engine.
There's a similar topic HERE

If you look on the Msn photo site there is a pic of the manifold with the crack highlighted.
You can repair this crack if you are carefull, you would have to remove it and clean it out possibly with some emery cloth to rough it up, then when it's dry and clean apply some plastic metal from the inside and also on th outside, I know someone on this site has done this successfully although I can,t remember who, a search would probably bring it up.
Hope this is of help
