Default Help! shogun sport problem!!

Hey folks i need some urgent help as im down in baku and the wife says our 2004 2.5td shogun sport is running like shit!!
She drives to tesco the other night and returns to her mothers for 30 mins before attempting to return home! she reverses down the drive and thinks the handbrake is on because its running like a slug! it was also cutting out with white smoke coming out the exhaust! she took the car to a local mechanic who changed the fuel filter and now it doesnt cut out but still runs a bit rough! the mechanic says it was a bit smoky! where i stay in scotland its sub zero temps at night and probably during the day! any ideas? i feel helpless as im offshore in baku thanks in advance folks!!!

ive since spoken with her today and she had it out last night for a spin and its struggling to get over 3k? the mechanic says the engine is sound so im guessing it could be the fuel pump? or water somehow! the glow plugs take 5 turns of the key every morning to start and have done for the past 2 years ive had the car! anything to do with that?
