Two weeks of ownership of MY2004 Freelander with TD4 140k miles. I was very careful that there was no smoke under any circumstance when I was looking for my freebie, so I was a bit worried when I saw some yesterday. While having the tyres changed, I took the opportunity to get a free alignment check (it is way off) and the shop left the landy idling for about 10 minutes. When I drove off, I noticed that for the first couple of miles I got a lot of white/blue smoke under acceleration, something I have not seen before. I have driven the truck since, and not seen any smoke under acceleration. I do get smoke for a few seconds after starting, and it can be a bit lumpy for the first 20 seconds or so. Is this an indication of something sinister about to happen? I have a PCV filer ready to fit, after reading some topics on here - Great site by the way!
