Broken down Land Rover 90 2,5 diesel turbo 1998 in Hjörring (18-08-2009 21:56:49)

Dear friends
I just arrived in the beatiful country of Denmark from Iceland were I live on my Land Rover 90 2,5 diesel turbo 1988. The diesel pipe for cylinder 4 broke down after I arrived but I was still able to drive on 3 cylinders since this was on last Sunday. But then when I was in Hjörring on North Jutland it almost finally broke down and I stopped it outside Hjörring Bilcenter. I have got the spare part for the 4 cylinder and the engine runs but very badly it had a lot of black smoke but now it has a lot of white smoke. Propably not running on all cylinders and I fear the pistons or valves have been damaged. The guys at Hjorring Bilcenter are going to take a look at it tomorrow and give me feedback but all your help is really appreciated.
Is there someone in the Hjorring area that knows this enginge that would be able to take a look? If needed we would just tow the vechile to the right destination.
If it is a major damage do you think an engine shift would be cheaper, faster and more reliable? Were, for how long and for how much would I expect there?
Thanks in advance,
