Wow, that's really expensive. Thank you very much Jan.
I find it impressive how much your Td4 engine has run. I've never heard of these engines over 250000 km.
Wouldn't a new engine have been worth it?
In any case, I'm pleased that you can drive the Defender again without any worries.

In hindsight, perhaps a new/different engine would have been a smart idea. Including the cost I had before the gasket (heat gelaten, but apparently not the cause) it would have costed the same?

I’m happy with the car, if maintained a td4 runs fine. It is also remapped. And as said, gaskets can be done cheaper. My garage is expensive, but the only specialist nearby.

Yes, a conscientious and trustworthy workshop is worth a lot.
I still haven't fully understood whether it could be the EGR cooler. Did you check this somehow beforehand?

Perhaps I should also endeavour to do this. The EGR cooler has then also been completely removed from the cooling circuit, right?
