I'll keep you posted as to how I get on.

Stand By Your Beds!

Turbo checks out as okay.

Its the exhaust manifold gasket on mine.

So why you burning oil!

Dunno.

Possibly rings?

Leaving it with Dave Benson Thurs & Friday for noises to be sorted, rear ARB bushes & general health check before setting off for Harrys do.

ok here`s another squeak/squeal one for ya and i don`t mean mice

cold engine no worries nothing
go for a drive nothing

stop for a while so everythings warmed up nice
start off nothing

hit 2500-3000 revs have squeal for a few seconds then stops may do this a couple of times
but is intermitent
has just started over the last couple of weeks but does`nt seem to be getting worse and everytime i try to get it to do it stationary to suss out exactly where it is it won`t play the game

ideas welcome
cheers

I would say one of your belts is starting to slip, or worst you have a pin prick hole in a hose and its squirting near the alternator belt, have a good check but I would go with my first sugestion, mine did that little sqeel on startup then disapeer straigh away then come back when i put my foot down but once engine was warm it stopped, but got worse over a few weeks, tightend em up which stopped it for a couple more weeks but started again so repleced them all and its been fine ever since.

Try a wee squirt of wd40 on the belts to see if it makes it disappear, it's not a solution, just a way of checking whether it's the belts or not. Be careful you don't overtighten the belts, if that's what it looks like.

Would sound like a snapped/loose manifold stud to me. Not too hard to get manifold heat shield off just pop off the pipe on the front of the turbo to give a bit more room then look for said hole with no stud & also check there tight. If you try WD40 on your belts watch where your spraying it especially around the back of your alternator ..
