I have a 2002 land rover discovery 2 td5. It is automatic. It has a 2.5 diesel engine and has 212000km.
It is not starting after billowing black smoke. I also realise that there is a oil leak on the turbo. It is also showing a warning light for transmission temp high (it is flickering on intervals).
This all happened after I had couple trips towing a trailer with furniture. We have checked the glow plugs they seem to be ok. What could be the problem?

Your trans temp is high, have you found a reason before you break the trans? Is your engine temp also getting high? Black smoke is from overfueling. Is your turbo intact and working right? Is this leak in it external or internal? What method of testing did you use to determine that the glow plugs were working properly. Also, what is the ambient air temp where this vehicle is at? Did the black smoke come just prior to stalling out on the road, or did you park it after your trip and now that you come back to it the thing won't run? Have you checked the air filter and fuel filter?
