You really need to take a break, mate - sometimes you need to take a step back in order to regain fresh ideas, plans etc. and just generally rest. Tiredness / exhaustion / stress - all makes things seem even more complicated than they are. P38s are man made (only a man could have caused such complications.....)and can be fixed - speak to Irish about things he's got loads of experience and diagnostic kit and could help with a confused BECM, which your Rangie might have.
You aren't a long way from sorting things, I'm sure, don't give up now, but do get some rest......

I agree with Rangiegal you have worked so hard and I have been following all of your posts, its no wonder you are exhausted. You have done most of the really hard work here anyone like Gav can appreciate the work you have done by changing the head gasket etc you have just got some niggly issues now. Take a break and some more ideas from the people here will help you out shortly. Don't dispair too much because when its running right you wont look back on how much pleasure these cars are to drive.

Take it easy
