2002 Ford Mondeo Manual 143000 miles

The glow plug is always on and flashes constantly, White smoke is coming from the exhast and the car cuts out/loses power after 5 mins of driving. Can anyone tell me what could be the problem. Thanks.

Hi there,

you will have to get a few things check here,

check for voltage at the glow plug rail, there should be no power after start up and about 1 min running, check compressions, white smoke in a diesel is often associated with incomplete combustion mainly due to lack of compression, check these first.
