Went to start her up this morning, and juddered into life, idled roughly for 5 secs then died 
Tried turning over for about 20secs and then she fired up, with a cloud of smoke.
Left it idling for a few minutes while i threw some things in the back, enough time i thought for her to warm up a little.
Pulled out the drive, with more smoke coming out than a power station, barely had enough power to reach 2nd gear. Limped to a downhill bit where it wasnt so bad. It slowly got better with more power, and less smoke the warmer it got
Once pretty much warmed up, no smoke and full power.
Anyone got any ideas? Been driving it all day, and no problems starting even after being left for hours, but a bit of smoke when cold. Im guessing i'll have the same problem tommorow when she's stone cold after being left overnight.
(I've also posted this in the td5 bit, sorry if this is naughty, but i need some help quicksih, as im taking her upto wales in a few days)
