FL 2 Smoking?

I wouldn’t worry.
Sometimes you just have to wait till it goes bang!

It might be worth asking LR dealer to check if you have a fbh, to be on the safe side.

Main Dealer? eeek ££££
Lol.. I may try Keith Gotts again, they do my service every year.

Could be something you need to let develop a bit as @The Mad Hat Man says

No.
take the car to the dealer with a copy of your ViN number. they should be able to check the build standard from there.
it shouldn't cost you.

Ooh... now I may have that!! I had an issue with the heated windscreen (comes as standard usually) only my car was owned from new by a farmer and he un-checked the box!

Are these ever good enough to provide what’s fitted

with the reg, the dealer can find out loads.

if not, they can take a bl00dy l00k!

Cheers everyone, you’ve been really helpful and all your advice will be taken on board. I shall go to the local dealer next week and ask for the information on the fbh.

Don’t forget clocks FORWARD tonight and Mother’s Day tomorrow

but that looks like it is coming from the turbo area,if oil has run down the pipe to the turbo I don't know if it would smoke

Looks like oil burning off the turbo to me. It could well be dripping off the boost pipe, and falling onto the turbo, giving the smoke.

Changing the clutch might have damaged one of the hoses, as you say letting the oil residue in the pipe leak over the hot turbo/exhaust.

Is there not a plug, fuse or maybe a temp sensor for the FBH that can be removed to stop it working? It shouldn't be working when these events are occurring, but it would rule it out if there is an issue and its coming on when it shouldn't? If it has one of course!

That'd be my guess.

Very few FL2s have the FBH fitted, IIRC.

Easy to eliminate it tho, before we all jump to conclusions.

C’mon. Running up bills and jumping to conclusions is the only exercise we Landyowners get.

Clutch was changed, then smoking started, then turbo was changed - still smoking.
I am checking the existence of fbh next week and will update then.
Thanks

I may be proven wrong by those that know more here - but I'd have thought the garage that changed your turbo were taking you for a ride. Not sure how a failing turbo would create the smoke as described - if it was failing, I'd have thought oil would have been released through the induction system into the engine giving poor running and/or smoke out of the exhaust - rather than smoke escaping into the engine bay or oil escaping to convert to smoke on something hot.

you could always take it back to those that changed the turbo and tell them it didnt fix the fault.... what are they playing at?

That's my thoughts on the subject too.

It can't.
Smoke can only escape out of the exhaust, or out the intake, if a serious turbo failure happens.

This to me looks like oil (The smoke is blue), dripping onto the turbo or exhaust occasionally, then burning off. I don't believe it was necessary to replace the turbo at all.

That's what I'd be doing.
