Hello again.
Two things really, I just thought that I would pass on some info regarding what I have experienced and a question.
My symptoms were as follows
I would get into my Freelander and when I turn the key the idle was lumpy and rattly and when I put my foot on the pedal a cloud of smoke would spew out of the exhaust for about five seconds or so. After it had stopped I would set off and the engine felt like sometimes it would stall (choked feeling) so I would have to rev more. Even when driving, it wouldn't rev much past 3000 revs and would still feel sluggish in forth or fifth gear at higher speeds.
I decided to try the engine breather and replace it. I did it last night and went for a drive. What can I say? In the words of Borat, "Wa Wa Wee Wa!!"
What a difference. I knew my Freelander was sluggish but I just thought a lot of it was due to the car itself. It is like a new car, well compared to how it was, revving right up to and beyond 4000 revs and doing it relatively quickly and smooth while doing so. Much more pleasurable!!!
I got in this morning and the cloud of smoke wasn't as bad as it was but still appeared. Once gone drives like a dream and no choking feeling but still worried about the cloud of smoke.
After reading "Freelander TD4 Lack of Power" http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f9/freelander-td4-lack-power-71139-3.html I am deciding to get a boost pressure sensor to hopefully rectify this problem.
Does everyone think that the boost pressure sensor would rectify this white cloud problem and where can I get one???
