So, day off today.
Effectively, I found a hole in a boost pipe, cleaned the MAF senser, dismantled the engine crank case breather filter, which was beyond disgusting.
New one arrives tomorrow.

PNH000020
Might need cutting shorter as some Td4s didn’t have that extra sensor.
Otherwise, it’s PNH500190 which comes with the sensor, which you don’t need.

He raises some interesting points 're EGR, and the vacuum system.

Your intake manifold will be filled with the most fearsome, oily shite you’ve ever seen. I’ve known some FL lads buy a spare manifold and leave it soaking in oven cleaner for months.
You can just ‘blank’ the EGR by pulling off the vacuum hose and plugging it. See if it makes a difference.
Turbo boost solenoid a common failure point.

I was thinking a cork, from a bottle of wine looked pretty suitable.
Where's the turbo boost solenoid please, and how do I check it ?
And a million other questions to ensue.

In the EGR exhaust entry? Would probably burn out.
Under the car, looking forwards towards the engine on the right-hand side, circled. WA is the wastegate actuator, turbo behind. IRD is the intermediate reduction drive, or transfer box. Someone else has labelled the pipes, vac in, vac out, vent. Vent goes to that strange filter that hangs near the brake booster.
If you’re not getting turbo or power-related problems, don’t worry about it. Just something to keep in mind,

Much appreciated. Thanks.

I think you can test the solenoid by getting someone to rev the engine while you watch the wastegate. It should move in and out. If not, check the vac pipes, if ok, replace the solenoid.

Thanks, your a wealth of knowledge, much appreciated.
I could be wrong but doesn't it need to be under load to test in this way? I'm thinking of the mechanical type actuators so this might act differently.
I find AF are pretty good for parts diagrams too. I buy a fair bit from them these days, but also use the site for looking up part numbers fairly quickly - freelander link - https://www.advancedfactors.co.uk/land-rover-freelander-1-l314-1996-2006-8-c.asp
Didn't know you could get an oil that causes miss fires

Well again, huge thanks people.
Spent an hour changing the air filter and crank case breather filter, and the difference is day and night, drove out the drive, accelerated, a puff of black smoke, then no more. Its completely cured its heavy smoking.
And, it accelerates, it was really slow and sluggish, it's no racing car, but it's loads better, I've a whistling turbo noise to investigate, and a nasty shake at 40 mph.
More huge thanks.
Will continue investigating.
