Haynes says no gasket.....Unless the information is wrong.No I'm sure it's 100% accurate as always.next you'll be telling me there's no Santa.
They possibly could be right. My parts catalogue doesn't show a gasket for either the 200 or 300 Tdi, its states use Hylomar 200 STC611, that number may have been superseded by now.Haynes says no gasket.....Unless the information is wrong.No I'm sure it's 100% accurate as always.next you'll be telling me there's no Santa.
Ok, I hadn't looked - but I did mine (300Tdi) not long ago, and used a new cork gasket, some hylomar, and new bolts.... cos they kept coming undone - no leaks nowRave says use a bead of sealant. On the 300tdi.

I've recently done mine and after reading online info lots of stuff said don't use hylomar for doing the sump with, certainly the blue stuff anyway. (I've got a big tube of the stuff and I'm a tight wad) I ended up using this stuff from my local halfordsI'd go with red Hylomar for the sump gasket sealant.
I would even consider "Liquid Gasket" based on silicon sealants, there's a risk of little bits of cured silicon being shed in the engine and getting sucked up into the oilways, possibly causing blockages.
Interesting, I thought the TD5 rubber gasket should be installed dry?
Except for the little bits shown in RAVE?
I'm about to do the oil pump bolt, so curious...........

Land Rover use a sealant thats got a reputation for leaking, especially if you have an off road sump bump. I fitted an after market cork gasket of ebay (link Bellow)... a tried and tested sump gasket material for many years. Sometimes the old ways are the best ways. Used on several Land Rovers over the years both 200TDi and 300TDi the link is for 300TDi but i think the same seller does the 200TDi Gasket too plus some other Land Rover items Mine never leaked again.

Forget the gasket fit the sump using RTV sealant & be done with it
You must be very careful using RTV sealant. There is a possibility that the stuff will "squish" on the inside of the sump and those little bits of squish can get detatched and since it doesn't dissolve, bits of it could get sucked up into the oil system and start blocking oilways.
For that reason I would personally prefer to use something like Hylomar to form the seal.
