I have a beloved 2004 Defender TD5, started smoking heavily and running like a bag of nails, only 85K on clock. Looks like diesel in sump oil, level raised and clear on top of oil. any ideas .. help desperately need as will have to tackle this myself as no real money and no local expertise to help.

Reported that one, because you have posted in the wrong section.
It will be moved somewhere else in due course.

Classic case of injector seals....
real easy job and relatively cheap too but while you are in there you will want to change the injector loom too and also do an oil and filters change :)
