I tried annealing on 2 of the cylinders, again no luck.
I’ve read 6Nm, but that doesn’t seem enough? - I’ve got 2 new genuine bolts coming next. I’ve read that they are stretch bolts, so perhaps other brands are inadequate?

2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 DCPU Stornoway Grey

On 2.4 it is 6Nm plus 180 degrees. Not sure whether this is the same for 2.2 > 110 XS Double Cab

The extra 180 deg might explain why they are leaking.

I have now changed the bolts for genuine LR ones, there was a very slight length difference. However I still have the blowby.

I now have another fault code, "P2263-22 (EC) Turbo/supercharge boost system performance - General signal failure - signal amplitude>maxiumum"

Does anyone know if this can be related to blowby and should I start to look at the turbo, or is this perhaps a conincidence and I now have 2 faults.

2008 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 CSW Alpine White

Possibly disturbed the loom to the turbo? Notorious weak spots over the air con pump and around the ferrite ring.

I was always told to use new stretch bolts and anneal the washers even if genuine.

I seen this is a problem on the 2.4's, so I checked mine and it must be a different loop as there is plenty of length on mine.

IIRC there is a ferrite ring wrapped into the loom just near the multi plug connector on the turbo - pretty sure someone on here had the wire fail on this ring.

Good luck

I have now checked the loom and disconnected the actuator to prove this is not sticking. Another item rules out.

For information the result here is a cracked piston. I’m waiting to hear about the injectors, but it’s suspected a faulty injector caused this.

Bingo!
However I don't believe in the injector theory, I believe that the pistons are the issue.
The failure mode is exactly like the Toyota pistons in Australia and there has been 3 updates to pistons but no injector updates.
Your options are buy just one piston if it hasn't damaged the bore or buy a set and rebuild.
I bought a rebuild kit from Lyme Parts for $1200 Aus that was landed, so pretty decent in my book.

Are the Lyme pistons different to the OEM ones? Are they any less likely to crack?
I think a full rebuild is the best option. Luckily there are no markings on the walls.

All injectors have been tested and returned to me, all tested okay. So it appears this might just be a defect with the pistons themselves? I’ve heard many stories of no3 piston cracking.

If you want to see a cracked piston, then have a look at this:

Is your 2.2 on standard map, or was it tuned? 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing

It was tuned, with a larger intercooler. But this was removed (due to clutch wear) before the fault occurred.

Looking at your pistons, mine is not so bad.
I would like to know the root cause before rebuilding.
