Alright chaps I posted this about 10 months ago but money is still to tight to get garage to fix so I'm gonna have a crack myself the original problem was the landrover tdi300 auto 97 was on motorway overheated lost most of the water. oil level right up but no white sludge any where I seen a thread on here how to strip it down so I started to dismantle it when I pulled the intercooler pipe off all inside is covered in oil and when I pulled of the air pipe off after the airflow metre that pipe was also saturated in oil any one shed any light on this I'm just at the point of taking the manifold off now cheers thanks for any help.

have you drained sump ,was level of oil very high ? its normal for intercooler pipes to be wet with oil ,its the nature of turbos ,hard to say if its more than normal from here .drain block by undoing bung on lhs of block just in front of down pipe 13mm,dont be afraid of pulling it apart it wont really hurt if push rods etc dont go back in same order ,watch out for valve stem caps on top of valves they easily get lost though not manditory to refit

Where in the world are you located?
Now see if anyone on the LZ international network local to you would be willing to pop by and offer advice for usually a slice of internationally accepted currency of bakewell tart and a brew.

If you're doing it you only want to do it once, I got a genuine Landy one that way you *know* it's good (and really not that much more moolah). I seem to remember there being different dot ratings, can't remember what they mean - it would be worth doing a search. Also you want to check a multitude of other stuff (the micro bore pipe that runs from the stat housing, header tank and rad) so when you put it back together it dun't blow again straight away...
