I'll give the full story and if anyone can help I will be a happy man!
Started off with thick white smoke in low revs under load, was also blowing oil out the dipstick, so I changed the Pistons ring, head gasket set, lapped the valves in and replaced the turbo with a good second hand one, on the drive had it running for an hour no problems at all, other than a bit of diesel leaking out the leak back banjo on injector no 1, drove up the road and it cut out, then wouldn't start, got it picked up to my mates, we tried sorting the leak and found the banjo on the injector had cracked, had it running again and kept cutting out, after a few lots of it running and cutting out it ran fine, for best part of an hour still with the leak, got the new banjo and fitted it all today, drove 2 miles up the road and she died, struggled to get up the hill, lost all power, oil pressure light came on and rolled to a hault, we just stripped the turbo and head off, all seems ok, anyone got any ideas?
