Chaps / Chapesses
I have a 2003 TD5 Disco, 111k, recent cylinder head gasket replaced and today the bloody thing lost loads of power wouldn't climb gradients with out dropping a gear then smoke started to billow out the back. I can also hear a rattle when accelerating. At speed the thing stopped smoking. When I stopped and lifted the bonnet there was a wisp of smoke coming of the top of the turbo where a linkage is - my gut feel on this is the turbo charger, due to the lack of power and that rattle, but not sure if this would cause the smoke. I bow to the intellect and wisdom on this site.
Hope you can help
