When you said judder I thought you meant steering/suspension.

So it's kangarooing or is sudden power loss?

what colour is the coolant? Ordinarily I would suspect a blown turbo or gasket gone south. Yours is a pertol?

doh! I was reading it as an Xei.
the Turbo
Fuel high pressure fault?
injector leak/worn

That's my limit of Freelander knowledge

rekon you need an L-series expert to help out here ..

~~~~~~~~~

maybe you got some contaminated fuel ..
with freezing weather i'd be wary of water in the fuel ..
( condensation from storage tanks )

kicking out white smoke indicates the fuel is not burning properly ..

could it be something to do with pump timing on the L-series .. maybe ?

try running some 'diesel rhino' through it ..
( google it .. combats water-in-fuel amongst other things )
or some other additive that will do the same ..

do a site search for 'L-series faults' ..
( i just did .. but didn't find much .. except for 'tuning' )

try googling 'L-series faults roverdiesel dot co dot uk '
