I'd probably steer clear of pattern gasket sets, never used on on a 400, but have on 2t in the past and they have been temperamental. I think for the amount of time you change them it's worth splurging for the genuine article :)

Thanks for the input, oem gaskets are an obscene price

True, they are dear, seen a set on ebay for £160 which was a complete genuine set. If you do plump for the Chinese set, let me know how you get on.
