I bought this car from a main dealer just oveer 2 years ago. Not long after it seemed to have a judder at low speeds - Ford eventually after about 4 visits replaced the injectors. It has been fince since.

However, on a 200 mile journey 2 weeks ago it started to misfire/judder again (initially at low speeds but now at any speed) Plenty of smoke out of the exhast and no surge in power when I put my foot down.

I admit it does need a service.

The garage has replaced the air/oil filters and the judder stopped for a day as did the smoke but the power did not return. All symptons are now as bad as ever again after only 2 days.

The garage think it may be a hole in the "turbo pipe" sucking in air ..... What does anyone think?

It was just a split in the Turbo pipe -- Took it to a diesel specialist -- no Idea how the 1st garage missed.

Working nicely again now.
