I think a p gasket is about three quid but it's a bit of a ball ache to swap
Please try to get a metal one ...
Just ask them to put a note in the file 'Land Rover Owner' ...
on i'll try answer all this haha
p.gasket will be high grade i dont like using cheap $h1t when its going to be an ass to change again.(also whats your thoughts on my bubbles)
no change in smoke
cant see anything on any weep off pipes but then i could very well be looking at the wrong things. for them out there that done know i like pics hehe
lift pump is less than 2 months old but if you guys think its worth it im willing to get a new gasket take it back off and check it out.
the breather from the turbo inlet pipe to the big ass filter bolted to the side of the rocker (is this the breather of possible blockage) if so im all for whipping that off and checking it out

not checked the pipes when hot will do when i put it back together tomorrow. water i have been randomly losing on and off for months but thats a whole other story lol oil looks good nice and black cant see any crap in it. tomorrow at some point i'll start it and take the rocker cap off see if she spits anything up at me
cant say i've noticed the oil level changing when i've checked but to be honest when i look its normally out check its between min and max put it back i dont really pay attention to where between it is.

deffo looks like my issue so it will be ordered asap the truck is sat not being run atm as i cant afford to kill itIf your p gasket has been leaking you will loose fluid but one day it'll leak properly and cook your block like this one did
time for the daily update.
give all the pipes and what have you a wipe and put them back on started it up opened up the oil cap. getting a little bit of air up from it but no air rush or mist put a piece of kitchen roll about 2 or 3 inches above it and rev'd it a little (prob to about 1.2k-1.5k max) got 2 or 3 little spots of oil that i expect to be thrown up but nothing more.
parts ordered.
egr blank plate and intercooler pipe
rad and thermo bleed screws
p and water gasket
oil filter
air filter
fuel filter
oil
coolant.
strip down will hopefully start tomorrow will take lots of images and share them to see if you guys spot anything else while im in there
also have the inlet and exhaust manifold gaskets that i was going to do in the better weather but im prob gonna get on them same time as i'll be out with the tools anyway.
