hi everyone
well where do i begin...
when i start my di freelander (or tractor as he is now known) it bounces and kicks a load of blue smoke out of exhaust, once its is warmed up its fine....then i seem to give some sort of resistance when i put my foot down i cant get speed it wont go passed a certain amount of revs (feels like it wants to go but cant)..then when its even warmer it runs better but with absolutely no power at all while going up a hill i'l slowing down and losing revs
(been reading "freelander loss of power at 70") mines slugish all the while
Sometimes i feel power is just about to kick in and then it seems to joilt and nothing happens....
when looking under the bonnet i saw a crack in the turbo by the exhaust pipe side/exit gas i think (sorry i'm not technical) so when i put my foot down a big gush of black smoke comes out of the crack....and yes i did notice the overall smell of the car was a diesel one!
Now ive had conflicting advice....someone said injectors, but i've heard they rarely go wrong...others say turbo, yet someone said that that is the exit side to the manifold so shouldn't make a too much of a difference.
my head is spinning with what to do as both are costly so could do with some advice please
if it is the turbo any advice on where to go?
thanks guys
