need more clues ?

RIP

Could be flooded engine, get someone to try and it iver while you feed carb cleaner in air feed, happens to me and got it started, have to rev the gel out of it to clear the smoke.

Ducking help, sorry for the spelling

imo sounds like the turbo has gone and in the process sucked up all the oil from your sump which would cause the running at full throttle and clouds of oiley smoke

There's ya answer

SORRY to hear your tale of woe , this is one of my dreads with the td4 ,my mates turbo blew last year on 65k the course of action is to stall the engine asap to save it ,he did that and got it fixed , it still cost a few bob though ! let us know the outcome .

Have great news my freelander is back in the land of the living turned out one of my injectors had failed completely and flooded the bore with feul, thankfully no other damaged parts so removed the injector and 2 others that had poor leak back results and had them refurbished. Fitted them back in today and after a jump start and a few clouds of smoke as she cleared her throat she is now running sweet. Thanks for advice guys and lesson here is when you start getting erratic tick over sort it asap.

glad to here its sorted mate and not terminal
