All above covered under warranty.

Have a concern over:

Injectors - Mr T has 'tested' and 'all within spec'
Engine very clanky / noisy on startup and on idle - will check for sludge at next oil change
Tail shaft clunk - replacing rear diff with e-locker, and will grease thoroughly then and check for alignment / play

I think that's it (for now Laughing

)
