Hi all, My dad has recently bought a td4 freelander, is 02 model with 120k on clock, had been running ok for the last month but since last wednesday has been difficult to start.
The day after the -15 frost he flattened the battery trying to start, would just crank but not fire, recharged the battery and was ok few hours later. But since then it seems to want to crank over for 5-10 seconds before it fires and then the engine sounds like it is missing for approx 30 to 40 seconds if he revs it around 2000rpm and will then clear however there is a fair bit of blue smoke untill it clears.
Also now when he is in top gear he cant get much above 50mph, he did manage 65 today but then the engine wont pull any more it just doesnt seem to be able to pull any more.
Any ideas out there?
Regards Jason
