Firstly, thanks for taking the time to respond. secondly, well done on technical detail here. it all stacks up to make the most sense per symptoms. I am collecting a spare engine next week so will rule out low hanging fruit (injectors turbo etc) albeit i am not convinced these are root cause. i am monitoring coolant loss currently, by using the defender more often (even though coolant loss does not currently stack up as root cause), that said i want to ultimately rule it out. I am also monitoring oil loss, however based on you analysis the oil loss is negligible if root cause is per your indication. I will complete checks per your recommendation also and report back in a couple of weeks on progress. I really appreciate the guidance as nothing else has really stacked up thus far as potential root cause. cheers
You are welcome.
What sort of mileage is on your engine?
