She's certainly worth looking after.
Started this morning fitting the timing case seal.

Then I set the tappets.

When I finished I went though them again. I kept a pencil tick record next to the sequence in my LR manual, so I didn't get lost off. Second time around 4 of them needed a slight adjustment.
Put the new rocker cover seal in and fitted it followed by the breather pipes

Cleaned the shaft up on the crank pulley and fitted the newly painted flinger. Tapped in on with a block of wood. It's nice and tight.

Put more copperslip on the crankshaft as per
@Saint.V8 's recommendation in his sticky how to. I didn't put quite as much as as you though, mate.
Put some threadlock on the crank pulley bolt and set up
@aaronmorris 's pulley tool. Cheers mate. It'll be on it's way home soon.

New pipework with EGR removed.

Used the blank that came with the EGR kit on the controller. I need to go through back pictures though to check I have the pipes and blank in the right places. Meant to do that but got carried away with the thought of starting her up.
This is the arrangement at the moment.

Filled her up with oil and then with antifreeze and water.
The final slow and repetitive top up via the top of the thermostat housing.

Measured the coolant and got a good eleven and a half litres in.
Topped up the power steering with ATF and did another check on the clutch fluid.
Removed the turbo return oil pipe and stuck it in a milk carton.

I was feeling a bit tense at this stage and was actually developing a bad head!
Connected up the battery and, with the stop solenoid disconnected. Turned it over!
This amount of oil came out of the turbo.

It was then I realised I had no idea how much oil to expect
I thought at least there is oil coming through. I'll connect the stop solenoid and try starting it with the pipe disconnected and see what happens
It took a bit of turning over, but I had replaced the fuel filter and so this was to be expected.
It started catching and then fired up. The Mrs was videoing so I'll post that soon.
It sounded
SUPERB It was so smooth and quiet! I stopped it after a few seconds.
This is how much oil had come through the turbo in a very short space of time.

Refitted the oil return pipe and took it for a 12 mile blast.
Quiet, smooth and pulled really well. Left the 30mph zone of the village and pulled quickly up to 60mph Feels great!
I'll upload some video to youtube.
