L322 TDV8 2007 Auto - Black smoke when hard accelerating

Hello everyone,

Me again! haha

Help........please......

So when I only accelerate very quickly and warning sign appears on dashboard and then I can only drive 50 miles an hr but then I park up, turn the car on and off then it works perfectly and no warning signs.

Also when I drive above 70mph and above, towards 2500revs, black smoke appears from the rear of the car but once I slow down to let say 70 and below there is none at all??

Help from all you experts please!

Range Rovers are such hassle. haha

sounds like you are driving like a dick.

Sorry, the post looks like I am but I'm not! it's not right that I have to carefully accelerate so I do not have problems surely?

The standard answer is that it needs to go on diagnostics.

No point in having a massive gas guzzling V8 if you are going to drive like a grandma

nice edit

yeah need to diagnostics it while driving, clear all your codes and then go for a drive and try to replicate the problem and see if any codes are thrown up.

haha i needed peoples attention

Wouldn't have thought 90 was possible in Kent during the day. and at night you wouldn't see the smoke!!
Anyway, turbo(s) would be my bet. Hope they don't run away with you.

+1,worthwhile checking/ replaceing your air filter as well.

Over fuelling or lack of air.
