any help would be fantastic.

no idea. Try a Jeep forum.

:5biagree: with ^^^^^^^

Have you checked for holes in your jeeps exhaust ?

Goddam it . It's a land rover. A jeep is a Yankee motor.

As for your question.....is it using a lot of fluids?

There is a chance the fuel diaphragm has been tinkered with a bit too much.

Burn it!!

Step out of the god dammed way, I have a powered wheelchair and I'm coming through suckers.

Hi Mate, It sounds like it has had very little maintenance for some time,
I have just brought a Freelander myself and I have trawled the www to find out issues,
Please understand I am not a mechanic or someone with loads of knowledge,

But that said I would do all the servicing items first,,
1. Td4 to BMW PVC upgrade.(Crankcase Vent)
2. Clean, de-activate or preferably by-pass the EGR.
3. New turbo-vent filter.
4. Air Filter.
5. Engine oil and Filter.

Also check the manifolds condition and see if there are any holes..

These should help a little with the black smoke, and its much cheaper than throwing a Turbo at it..

Good luck and keep us posted...P.S the others are only jealous..
