Sounds good - My engines in such a mess I'm going to fit a replacement when I get a minute - got one in back of the workshop with less mileage.

Spec are in my profile for my vehicle...

Turbo diesel is blowing lots of white smoke & using up lots of coolant. Engine is not knocking or clicking or losing power. Probably a head gasket, I know, but I need information on how to go about fixing it.

Cheap or free instructions a plus!

Thanks for any help available...

Thanks for any help available...To be honest - you need a manual for it. Though it's simple enough and if you've done OHC engines before there's nothing you couldn't work out if you really had to, it'd save a deal of time.
There's a specific manual for this engine and they're not hard to get - they come up on eBay all the time.
Look, here's one now!http://tinyurl.com/69ttq
