Hi,
I haven't been on here for a while as I moved house and the landy has been parked up for a while. Its a G reg 110 CSW with a 300 tdi engine.
Since I bought the landy a few years ago there has always been some white smoke on start up but then after 5-10 mins of running it stops smoking.
Took it for an MOT today and it failed on emissions, so thought it might just need a good run even though I start and run it for 20 mins every week to keep the battery topped up.
On the way home white/blue smoke started pouring out of the exhaust and it kept loosing power or stalling. I managed to limp it along for a mile or so and then gave up. It would run normally for a few hundred yards (good power and no smoke) and then the engine would start to die (felt as if I were engine braking) and white/blue smoke would pour out of the exhaust.
The AA came and towed me home. He had a quick look and said that the injectors seem to be working OK and he doesn't think its the head gasket.
Do any of you have any suggestions of things it may be that I can have a look at before I get it towed to a garage?
Any help or suggestions would be very gratefully received.
Paul
