TD 5 Diagnosis please

Greetings gentlemen. New to the forum. I have a problem with a Defender, 1999, TD5.
It has received regular services prior to its purchase by me two weeks ago. However has been standing for over one year. 96,000 miles.
Work done so far. Big Ends checked with no damage/scoring. Slight scoring of cam followers. As though driven hard immediately after cold start.Turbo replaced due to excessive play at the impeller shaft. (Oil blowing through the phosphor bronze bearing.) New fuel manifold and plug. Screen from maniflod to injector inlet cleaned. New injector loom. Intercooler cleaned out. Oil pump sprocket bolt changed. New fuel filter.
Symptoms.  
1.Sometimes difficult to start, when it does it's very lumpy for a few seconds. (Fuel system throughly bled)
2. Slightly rough at idle, but smooths out when revs are increased.
3. White smoke
No discernable noise indicationg any mechanical malfunction.
This engine has not been brought to operating temperature yet. Am still doing work on the coachwork and don't want to idle it for a long period. Will bring it up to temp under driving conditions.
I am totally unfamiliar with this engine and would appreciate your imput please. It is a beautifully built engine.

id say that it was the head gasket personally,but id need to have a bit more of a think about it

Thanks for the reply Mike. I had a slight suspicion of the same but would hope it's not. Just a thought, when I drained the oil it struck me as being too thin and there was a distinct diesel smell to it. Unfortunately I cannot get any records as to why this vehicle was decomissioned. It was just parked and left to be replaced by another. Cheers man.

hmmm

i know what that is :lol:

Injector seals,if they go it lets diesel into the oil basically,

Couldn't be oil in the ECU loom, could it?  My Disco has started to misfire when cold (with smoke) and I'm pretty sure that's what it's down to.
