Smoke, whistling & popping noise could point to turbo problem.

Anyone local who could check it out for you?

That is just how mine sounded when the filter(s) were blocked.
Fitting a new fuel filter and cleaning out the banjo filter cured it.

The filter had only been replaced 200miles earlier but I think I had used some old diesel from a can.

Changed it and everything is right with the world again!!!

Thanks everyone for helping me sort it out! Great as always!!
