If your not looseing compression,water,oil to the out side of the engine you have to look to the inside. Oil in water,water in oil,compression in oil or compression in water. Sniffin the water locates exhaust gases which you can see!

Have you bleed it properly? from the plastic cap above the thermostat?

It sounds like it's airlocked :)

Not been on here much as iv been working non stop on it! 
I 'think' (...HOPE...) that i have found the problem.  I took the head to the specialist and it was banana shaped, i cant find a receipt from the previous owner saying that he had the head skimmed when he did the gasket so im hoping he put it on in banana form.  I also noticed that the head bolts were not as tight as i thought they should be!
While stripped down i found that there was around 2mm of gunk stuck onto the inlet valves which is probably from the egr, so it wouldnt be giving the best performance!  The head specialist also told me that the valves were passing so iv spent hours grinding the valves in properly!
I also decided to change the timing belt and found a leaking crank seal.....so in a way im glad i did have to strip it down!
Im hoping to have it built back up by the weekend so fingers crossed it will be ok and i can get off road again!!

bogie:
What can i say!
