1610d new issues

[Jayb-HT]

Finally got to use it in anger today but I’ve got a feeling the head gasket needs doing? Expansion tank water level was at midway between low and high at the start.
Starts, runs, drives fine, no smoke apart from start up and acceleration.

Yes, looks like head gasket. I couldn't tell for sure but looked like fluid on tire was coming from muffler, is that right?

 

[Jayb-HT]

Yeah, black oily slobber from muffler joint.

bubbles in the expansion tank was what my 1610d had before I did the HG. Also had soot appear in the coolant after a while.

Can anyone help with a list of parts I need to order to replace the head gasket?
I need to order to the UK so buying it all in one go from the US is easier with postage costs. There isn’t any parts stockists in the UK I can find.
Thanks
