Hi, I have a few issues with my car and don't know if they are all linked to the same problem or separate.
Basically the car has had a rough idle for a while and a couple of days ago the glow plug light came on and I lost power.
Now the car can be hard to start and when it does it idles very low almost stalling with the battery light on, it then after a few seconds revs and light goes out. It sounds quite loud and as I say has lost allot of power as if the turbo isn't working at all. Also judders while accelerating but problems get a bit better when warm. Although power doesn't come back. Also get greyish smoke out the back when accelerating when engine isn't up to working temp.
I have read bits about this sort of thing, and have read things that say it could be turbo, air leak, or injector/fuel pump problems. Just narrowing it down would be nice as I can do bits myself but don't really know where to start diagnosing it without dismantling all sorts.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated
Cheers
