....or of course a smoke screen if it's a diesel
No smoke from my diesel at all. But have noted the V8 is good at steam cleaning the under side of the bonnet and engine bay in genaral.

Neither do you.
Nothing out of mine apart from a nice V8 thrum............
Aaaah, the thrum of blue smoke and steam, a sight and sound to die for.

You pair, (the diesel duo) really need to find another chip to stick on your shoulders.
Not at all, Keith quite rightly pointed out that it is the petrol engine that tends to leak oil. The diesels actually have gaskets and seals to prevent that. The only time oil comes out of the diesel is when you remove the sump plug. Whereas the petrol seems to work on a continuous oil change principal.

Good for you, you do get to have some fun now & again then

Have plenty of fun in the diesel thanks. It's as quick as something weighing 2 tons needs to be. Picks it's feet up very well if needed. The Porsche is fine but uses more fuel than a power station. Even more than your low powered one.
DHSE.
OK, so today I removed the fog lamps blanking plates (had to drill out cross heads), and I can categorilly state, that if you have the oil cooler with the fan fitted, THE LAMPS WONT FIT! Not in a million years, unless you move it! On mine there is a air con pipe in the way also. So looks like I will be selling my fog lamps!

Good move
If you want fogs, buy some decent LED lamps and hang them under the bumper.
Maybe Range Rovers weren't meant to have derv engines
Some are fitted with diesel engines and some are fitted with steam generators.
