I bought a 89 2.5TD some years ago, it sat in my drive but now i need to get it going. The problem with it is if you rev it or drive it, it blows out black/grey smoke. Ive checked the turbo etc, but nothing stands out. I know there have a problem of burning out pistons. But i pray to the Land...

Hi The security is normally the vehicle is blocked in at the rear of my garden. Plus a good wheel lock on the steering wheel. I believe it was driven away and not pushed. I don't hold up any hope, the latest theory is that it was stolen for spares at the up coming Spares Show. Peter
