Well, it turns out that taking my Landy for a short drive, in an attempt to clear out whatever was causing it to smoke on startup, was not the wisest of ideas I've had.
At 60mph, the engine started to runaway, with smoke everywhere. Thankfully I was near a junction and the engine cut out just before the end of the slip road, but my poor Landy is now very dead
It almost ended up in a crash, as some moron in an Audi decided to accelerate through the cloud of smoke and very nearly ran into the back of me!
So... Am I correct in thinking that I'm going to need a new turbo and will need to clean out the intercooler and pipes, or is it likely to be more serious than this?
Thanks in advance,
Chris (currently sat at the side of the road feeling very sorry for myself)
