Disco 4 (10 plate)

Some advice please. When accelerating (overtaking on motorway), a plume of white smoke appeared from the exhaust pipes. When I took this into the dealer before, they kept the vehicle and exchanged the secondary turbo. Its now happened again. No loss of performance or other signs of fault. Any ideas?

I don't know anything about D4's but I spotted this DISCO3.CO.UK - View topic - Blue smoke under acceleration - turbos to be replaced when I was nosing around the other day.........you may already be aware, but just in case..........

Very reliable is that there a Land Rover i say

I thought 'a plume of smoke every time you depress the pedal on the right' was a feature of all discos?

it s a feature of the old trac'or discos, but not the new ones - they mainly exhaust water, silk, cotton wool and hot air.

but you'll need a new DPF after 100k and that'll cost you a few grand...

doesnt sound like a problem to me.Just a puff of smoke

It's a land rover that will happen!! Take it back in 6 months for another new turbo, they might of strengthened it by then.
It must be a design fault!!
They wont admit it so don't ask! They will re-design it and not tell anyone, bit like the heads on early TD5's
