I've trawled the past threads for the last hour but can't find anything like my problem. On the way back from the National War Memorial Arboretum today my Td4 kept on losing power momentarily and blowing blue smoke. This happened every 100 yards or so, like I was touching the brakes, then blue smoke, then running fine.It wasn't too bad at first as I was doing around 60 so was more like a blip.But slowing down to 30mph for side roads this became more frequent. Couldn't make any speed and had to drop down the gears just to keep up momentum. Cars behind me backed off. Made it home and turned off the engine. Checked hoses-all slicone - and couldn't find any splits , cuts etc.Turned it over and it ran sweet . Revved it up and no smoke.But out on the road, same again, like I was applying the brakes every few yards,with big plume of blue smoke.
Turbo problem?

. Before it became stupidly expensive,I used to go to Asda and buy 30l of veg oil and fill my 110 on the car park. The look on people's faces was one of sheer horror and disbelief. I always topped the tank with diesel straight away, but eventually my high pressure fuel pump gave up the ghost.
