disco smokes and takes time to rev also needs extra wire for new light clusters

[matt1coles]

my disco m reg smokes quite a bit even when warm although it does need oil change just wondered if that could be the only cause?
also when you go to accelerate off it does not accelarate off staight away there seems to be a pause before it kicks in?
lastly i have a new set of light clusters to replace the old ones which had no side lights or indicators on them but seems i need to run a wire up from the ones on the rear bumper to be able to use them anyone know how to do this?

your smoking problem sounds worryingly close to turbo problems matey..... lack of power till it spins up properly, and taking time to spin up as if the bearings and/or oils seals are shot. hence the smoking.

good luck dude!!

 i agree with mattymee as i had this after giving my 300tdi a big drink last year found the inpeler and bearings shot to fuchs
