I'm thinking the foible bits such as oil pump bolt, ECU loom, etc, etc.

Rego check this morning, let's see if it passes.....

This is the pipe from the cylinder head, on an EU3. I've had a look at RAVE and Microcat, it does not seem to have an O ring.

Ah! the dreaded front pipe, I think it's the return line, low pressure. What a headmuckup that one was for me. Most insidious design of anything I've ever had to deal with on any engine .. ever!

I changed brothers pipe to a straight pipe with a quick fitting end, and chopped the return line hose clamped the line, with a plan to fit a 90° angled quick fitting.

ie. instead of the hose with the fitted pipe, I cut the return pipe fitted hose. Used a deep socket to remove the nut on the head, fitted the old short pipe off the old FPR into the head, easy as it's straight, with a deep socket and hose of it's end.
Now if brother ever needs to do FPR again, there's no need to remove the inlet to replace this return line.

ps. should have an Oring. the one I took off had an Oring, and I fitted a new green(I assume viton??) to the pipe.
Oring should be between the small flare on the end of the pipe and the head(where it seats).

You're right, doesn't show it in RAVE's exploded diagram, but if you buy the full kit FPR with all the pipes, lines etc, that hose with the pipes on the end will have a new Oring.
Just had a quick google search for TD5 FPR, and they all show this return pipe with an Oring at the head end.
I'm 99.99% sure that the FPR body end of this pipe also has an Oring situated at the same spot.

Great news, an O ring I hope will add some friction to the threads and stop this loosening again.

The boys appeared and tried to ruin proceedings, it took six attempts with the Nanocom to get it to behave so the mechanic would pass it.
They weren't there when I took it in.

He asked what I did, I ran a modulator bleed plus a test on each wheel plus a fault clear to get the lights to stay off.

"One of those Land Rover quirks?"
Yep.

But I'm happy, I have rego for another year.

But I'll bet the remap etc is not quite standard!!!!!

Not quite , but every time I drive a standard one I'm reminded of why the V8 owners think they are slow.
