Ah no problem cheers for the reply will it be OK to run or should I just get rid of it
Cheers again m8 you've calmed me down a bit lol al just drive it now and keep an eye on here to see if anyone comes up with a solution. How long have you drove yours with the problem
As @Nodge68 says, don't worry about it. You've just joined a very select club, the 2000rpm misfire club.
I've recently left. Mine doesn't do it anymore. I have absolutely no idea what I did to stop it, as I'm always messing around with bits and tweaking stuff.
I'm sure I'll be back when I mess with something else

Cheers for the reply m8 I will just persevere with it hopefully it clears it's selfMy theory on it is that it could be one of three issue's maf, air filter not letting enough air through, or glow plugs, anyone ever tried removing the white cover off the air filter, and also removing one of the plastic caps under the air filter allowing air in from below, sometimes I think the maf blips and therefore gets wrong readings, but all only theory not proof, but I am sure someone will find the solution, as above drive it, keep air filter clean change regular, keep manifold and Map sensor clean, add bypass EGR or clean regular, and of cause change oil regular.
Mine only does it at running temperature. It doesn't misfire at 2K if the engine hasn't reached running temperature. This counts out the glow plugs completely.My theory on it is that it could be one of three issue's maf, air filter not letting enough air through, or glow plugs, anyone ever tried removing the white cover off the air filter, and also removing one of the plastic caps under the air filter allowing air in from below, sometimes I think the maf blips and therefore gets wrong readings, but all only theory not proof, but I am sure someone will find the solution, as above drive it, keep air filter clean change regular, keep manifold and Map sensor clean, add bypass EGR or clean regular, and of cause change oil regular.
That's interesting to know m8 as av just put in the new type pcv and av not changed the maf at all I have the old type pcv there which is brand new might be worth putting that one in and just changing regular. Did u say it was your turbo that was causing your smoking at first or just after those two items cheers for the reply aswell much appreciatedHi Tucka. Strangely enough mines started doing after changing maf and pressure valve? Cured everything by changing the turbo and have now created smoke again by changing these two items but did check my pcv (new bmw type and have found there's no oil getting up there now! Maybe they just don't like being disturbed.Who knows?
Mines a 2006 Cheers Al keep you posted just a quick question how much did you end up paying for a new turboHi Tucka. Yes it was the turbo that was causing the initial problem, looked like a genie was trying to escape! As engine gets hotter it reduces slightly as it then starts to burn off after 10/15 minutes rather than just visible vapour. spent a fortune on injectors/glow plugs and then got told by a mechanic (this is only a rule of thumb by the way) injectors----- BLACK SMOKE , blue smoke --- TURBO. also what can help if you get problems is change the fuel filter.Mine hadn't been changed since it was put together 10 yrs ago and even the earth crumbled in my hands. putting a new earth on has stopped the pump straining it's guts as you may hear from a very heavy buzzing on the back.let me know if this helps.
P.S . what is the vehicle. mine is last of the Freelander 1 td4 (2006) and i'm still learning myself
