Mine cracked a few months ago. My dealer told me it might last a month or a year and only to worry about it when it fully cracked. It took 3 months to break and poured fumes out. It cost about £400 for a new one and about £350 for labour, so it took them about 7 hours work. Looking at it, it looks like a big job to me, how the hell do you get it off ??

You can do it one of 2 ways. The easiest is to remove the engine. The harder way is remove the engine mount and lift the engine up a a short may and try to loosen the nuts on the studs. A few have done it this way and have been told the next time they will remove the engine and do other things at the same time. Either way it is a big job.
