Just had the tractor tow me back home. 500 yards from home I lost power but the revs went full on. I quickly stopped and turned the engine off and removed the key - to no effect.
Chucking smoke out the back and on full revs - the road became lost in a cloud. All I could think off was to stand well clear.
The engine ran for about 4 mins and then just died away.
I'm guessing the turbo blew a seal and sucked oil into the engine to run it to death.
Now back home - I'm guessing all is lost. Its a 53 plate TD4 so probably condemned to the scrapyard.
Won't get chance to brave a good diagnostic til tomorrow.
