Mainly because every spare penny I've had durin those 47000 miles has been spent on trying to fix problems (stuff like oil changes/filters were done by a local mechanic - I mentioned lack of service because of anything that should have been done, although the service schedules suggest otherwise).

Just to clarify "won't start" means it turns over, almost goes, White smoke, but nothing more.

Story so far.... 2005 facelift TD4, 122,000 miles. Last serviced 75,000 :-(. Intermittent cold starting problems for 18 months. Usual stuff, lots of cranks, followed by White smoke. Eventually broke down. AA found that the injector contacts had worked loose and crimped them tighter...

Hey all, 2005 TD4, 122k on clock. I've been having a problem for a couple of years - the yellow engine management light coming on at 3000 rpm or thereabouts. At my wit's end with that one and must have changed nearly everything except the turbo, which has been cleaned. Anyway, car works if...

Hi all, I was reversing a new boat onto my driveway (which involves a steepish slope) and noticed a very very strong burning smell whilst doing so, and at one point lots of revs and no movement. I am ashamed to say i subsequently noticed i had the handbrake on, and were it not for the fact...
