My 300tdi has been idle for almost 4 months. I have just given it a 5 mile run and was really surprised to see sparks flying out of the exhaust! When I rev it, it resembles an angle grinder! What on earth could it be?

The hamster and it’s wheel got a bit rusty laid up that long, keep it running and it’ll soon wear the rust away and stop sparking....

Is it carbon burning off from the exhaust manifold?
You did check the oil level?

It only happened the first few miles after the engine had warmed up. Now it just smells of chips
