    vauxhall cdti 19 turbo blown

    hello
    i have a vauxhall zafira 19cdti 08 36,000 miles
    i was driving on the motorway and had been traveling for under an hour when there was alot of white smokefrom the rear and a slight rumble
    i pulled over fast and the car filled with smoke and it also covered all 3 lanes on the motorway
    when i pulled up i turned the engine of but the engine still ran and started to rev very high
    it cut out after a short time just about 5 to 10 seconds
    i have been told 2 injectors are gone and the turbos had it to still dont know about the engine till the new parts are fitted
    how can this happen to a car with 36000 miles on the clock and also i am a sunday driver and have looked after the car
    i was told these things just go with no warning ,is this right ?
    i had the car motd 4 days before and thought it would have shown up on the emissions test if there was going to be such a fault
    could have killed me,my family plus many others on the road
    if this can happen at any time to any turbo then i am going back to petrol injection
