So, after chasing an oil leak for some time, and found it was also part diesel leak.

Turned out that someone prior to me had tried to replace the fuel pressure regulator at some point, and ended up cross threading the bolt, and rather than just take the head off and repair it properly, they decided to try and helicoil it. Resulting in the helicoil not being straight.

Took the head off, only to find that half of the rockers had helicoils in, and the head had been skimmed to within and inch of its life.

So, new head, bolts, gasket, pressure regulator and the best part of 2k later the leak is mostly fixed, also had to change out the alternator as that had been going squiffy for a while.

Also now replaced the steering damper which has stopped my 50mph death wobble.
