Hi all, need some help for my uncles TD5 disco, its low mileage and y reg.
It runs fine for days, then suddenly it will run really uneven and lumpy and starts throwing out white smoke, but after a while it clears and runs fine again for a few days!
any ideas??
thanks!

Sounds like oil contamination in the injector loom to me too.

Fairly straightforward judging by this article.
