Hi all. Changed turbo in my freelander 1 diesel as she was smoking TD4.
Now better but smokes after turbo has kicked in.
Checked filters and hoses. Breather and that little cyclone filter too.
Going mad as can’t sort it. Any ideas?

White. No oil in coolant or mayonnaise in oil cap.
Deffo not head gasket.
Starts and idles fine. Drives fine. Just annoying smoke.

Yes you can with injector leak test from ebay, but that will only show if it's quite obvious. Normally I send them to a local diesel specialist which is testing them for like 12 quid each.
ebay injector leak test and check youtube plenty guides around.

Drop one of these into your tank and drive it like you stole it for a few miles see if it make any difference, if not then do a leak back test.
