As part of a series going over this BMW Diesel engine in a Freelander 1 TD4 in order to reduce its smoke, this was a test I did for checking for turbo air leaks. If the engine isn’t getting enough turbo boost and hence not enough air then the fuel to air ratio will go up, increasing smoke and power will also go down. This is stage 7 of a series of smoke reduction tests and fixes.
A Haynes workshop manual can usually be found cheap on ebay UK:

Here is a playlist of videos that are related to, or on, this Freelander, this list is added to as fixes are done:
