Smoke under car

I have a vogue 3.6 2008 ,recently when I turn off the engine smokey fumes come from under the middle of the car,also a motor noise or something comes from under the bonnet,can anybody tell me what it may be and what to do please?
Thanks Turbo.

it could be the the diesel fuel burning preheater and what model do you have as vogue is just a trim level is it it am l322 or l320

Have you stuck your head under to see where the smoke is coming from?

Warms the car up before you get in on cold mornings ,like a HGV's night heater. Have you got a transmission oil leak being thrown on to the exhaust?

Will check out all thanks all regards turbo

Think you can discount the heater as its exhaust exits under one of the front wheel arches.

Is there a page fbh for dummies.

I'm sure there is, do you have an extra remote without a key blade? If not you probably don't have one. Do a search I'm sure there are photos /diagrams .

The fbh fires up any way to help warm up, the remote side of it is an option.

You can tell I haven't got one. doesn't it fire up if on the timer with the remote a demand override? Anyway its exhaust is nowhere near the middle of the car.

Is there any particular colour or smell to the smoke/area?

Dont know about later models but on my 2004 I had to have park heating as its called enabled for the timer to appear on the screen then I used a Vellman wireless remote kit for for remote switch on, the fbh exhaust is kind of in line with passenger door hinge so still could be fbh.

Just to add fuel to the fire here so to speak, the O.P posted over on rangerover.net couple of days ago about smelly diesel fumes under car on switch off. Any help do we think ?

I have found the exhaust pipe for the fbh,
Started fbh with remote fans start slight smell of fumes then nothing,fans still going but nothing out of pipe no hot air pipe cold.
It appears it starts then stops just cold air comes out,no heat in saloon.
