Hi guys. In despair with my beloved freelander!!

About a month ago got stuck on the M1 for 4 hours crawling along in 30 degree heat. When finally got moving the car decided to give a little cough and then lost power. Only managing to get 70 down hill.

Took car to garage and after they changed a sensor, plugs they found the cat was knackerd. £650 !!! later and the car was running fine again.

However, now at random times white/grey smoke bellows from exhaust when pulling away from stationary. Also the oil needs topping up regular.

There is no power loss but the exhaust smells very rich !!!

If there is anyone who has had this fault or has any ideas where to start I would be most grateful.

Many thanks.
