Blown headgasket??

Well done rev,
What make of gasket did you use in the end?

It was 'allmakes' or something like that. From a local independent in Bangor. Certainly not cheap at £15 and the manifold £7 and I think a total of about £40 for the bolts and £6 each for glowplugs. In total including oil (10L) I spent £117. Could have got cheaper I know but this is no time for penny pinching and I certainly dont have time to shop around or wait for stuff to come in the post.

The only 'finishing touch' left is to replace the injector return pipes. I think it looks like about 1/8" bore rubber pipe.

Don't use rubber if you are going to use veg oil - it apparently eats it.
