I would say first problem is the coolant system pressurising and blowing hoses

It's definitely a cause for concern. The M47 isn't known to suffer from cooling issues, actually it's known not to suffer them.
Definitely something wrong for coolant hoses to be failing.

Found oil in coolant reservoir and asked the previous owner they say no issues before. A month after investigating, he informed already change major parts in engine causing oil to get into coolant reservoir. But still the same issue after changing the parts.
1. Water Pump.
2.Oil Cooler
3. Crankshaft Pulley.
4. Belting system.
5. Radiator Serviced
6. EGR Cleaning
7. Welding Cooling Pipes.

When cranking do you hear a regular intermittent lower in speed as each cylinder gets to full compression or does it miss any out? Missed would indicate a drop in compression.

It'll take a lot of time and cleaning to get oil out the cooling system, and that might be responsible for the hoses failing too, as oil will make them soft.

It it's Borneo Indonesia, then 7,000 miles is more accurate. However there's this invention called international shipping. ;) The packet is tiny and very light, so airmail shouldn't be that expensive.
 
TFR or CTFR whilst a bit aggressive is pretty decent at cleaning coolant systems of oil residue, just remember afterwards to flush with plain water, and run the engine with plain water for a day then flush again before topping up with coolant.

I am 12,000 miles from the UK and I always buy my parts from the main LR parts suppliers in the UK. It is usually cheaper (even after shipping costs) and they will use the likes of DHL to get the parts to me in a week.

I have used Rimmer Bros and LRDirect but I'm sure the others will be just as good.

I have also bought from UK companies listing on eBay - but I'm not sure I would trust and eBay listing or the eBay process. I have googled them and contacted them direct to see if they are able and willing to ship here and seem a reasonable outfit.

true, parts here are ridiculously expensive and they supplier here treat LR owner like a rare item... 😎
 
Already check diesel
leakback properly. And there is lots of diesel leakback from opening top fuel rail return. Trying to order the Repair kit for HP fuel regulator kit, but ebay are not sendng it to ly place. Any advice on replacement part or similar item to replace the regulator kit.

I am no TD4 expert - I have the L Series diesel.

However, the TD4 uses a chain driven high pressure pump. If the motor is being turned over, then it will pump fuel.

If the ECU senses a problem, for example the low pressure fuel is not high enough, then it will not fire the engirn - ie it will not open the injectors.

If the pump is pumping fuel and the injectors are not firing, I presume the only place the fuel can go is through the regulator and leak back to the tank.

This scenario there would not necessarily be an issue with the regulator.

However, it could also be that the regulator seals are stuffed, and the fuel is simply being pumped out passed the regulator and not building high pressure.

Normally, I'd have thought you would put diagnostics on the car to see what the high and low pressures are. If they are both within range, then there must be another reason the ECU is not opening the injectors. If the high pressure is not high enough though, it would be very likely that the regulator O ring is shot or the pressure sensor [connector?] is stuffed.

I do not know if that Vauxhall CP1 kit is correct for the pump in the TD4, it looks like it. Others will advise, or if it is local and cheap, worth a go.
