Jonnyb1990 yes I only use Castrol edge 5/30 fully synthetic, can you explain more about the turbo drain tube sounds interesting, I just want to prevent the smoke rather than having to keep stopping it, if that makes sense ? Thanks Sheriff.

In answer to you both, I measured the oil 1lt at a time to recommended amount 5.9lts. Car is 3lt diesel and doesn't have a dipstick, flipping electronic readout on dash. Fed up with the "bridge to engine room, make smoke"

Kevwill, temp fine, I think it may be possibly an airlock in turbo lube drain only does it under med to heavy accel 2500rpm + ease off smoke goes, will cruise @ 70mph no probs same with gentle accel really annoying until it decides to behave

Hi thanks, I only use manufacturers recommended Castrol 5/30 it's even done it after main stealer service, but I didn't notice it until 6 weeks after as I now drive like miss daisy . It's really bad when does it can't see car behind poor devils

Anyone know why my 3litre 2010 sport bellows humongous amounts of white smoke on med to hard accel 2000 rpm plus. After oil change It seems to do this every time she gets an oil change. Last time it didn't stop until after about 1500 miles when I removed and replaced the oil filter Fresh oil...

Yeah too right ! That's the first and last time main stealers touch her. As I said she only went there to keep warranty valid. Just retired so thought just for once I'd keep mi hands clean now am gutted looks like spanners back out in my own hands.

No longer in warranty found lots of posts on numerous forums all with the identical smoke issue and would you believe it most started after a main dealer service. 2.7 and the new sdv6 don't do it just the 3.0tdv6. There was an early mod by LR to do with a modified turbo drain pipe. But didn't...

I would have thought that iffy injectors or fuel issue would have given black smoke not white, on the egr point don't know other than she has two I'm told which are bl**ders to get to. Just wanted to change oil filter without p*ssing oil all over and not having to drain the oil for own...

Reason why I'm only doing the filter is since its service at dealers she has a nasty habit of belching clouds of white smoke now and then and only when I accelerate smartly ease off and the smoke stops. Had car stood in P and took her all way upto rev limiter and no smoke Recently had a 200mile...

The filter is on top of the engine in the 'V'

Sorry guys forgot to say she's a Rangey Sport HSE 3.0 TDV6. Ta muchley

Can I change oil filter without getting oil all over without dropping the oil first ! Just need to fit new filter for my own peace of mind. Only done 2000mls since oil change. Thanks guys

Anyone come across this one. Had my 59 plate 3.0tdv6 HSE sport in to main stealers for service everything tip top mmhh. However since getting her back every so often on kick down she pothers clouds of bluey white smoke above 3000rpm, ease off gas and it goes away, build up speed gently and no...

Just read the thread, just a little point to conform to con and use regs fog lights must be on an illuminated switch.

Cheers guys, can,t afford 4 tyres at the moment so 2 new ones going on rear today with the rears goin to front. Will let you know if any probs. Toodlepip. Sheriff

Hi guys, I know what you're gonna say but I really haven't the time to do a search. Hippo needs new front tyres, rear are very good loads of tread. Remember reading sometime that new tyres go on rear is this correct ? Have a long motorway run next wk 250miles so don't want to get it wrong...

Flipping eck Thor patience is a virtue. Not everyone has the time to scour the past posts. He only asked thought we were all here to help each other

Hello mate, I had a similar problem see post (td4 lumpy misfire) eventually pinned it down to a fooked No 1 injector. Got one from local independent Britpart I think not sure as have thrown the box cost £127+vat. Car now runs like a dream bonus was No 1 is the only one you can change without...

Hi guys, As I have now blanked off the EGR and the vacuum pipe is no longer needed is the large plastic accumulator still required or can I do away with it and just have the vacuum pipe straight down to the turbo control solenoid. Just wondered as it now only needs the one vacuum supply ? :cool:

Sounds similar to what my td4 HSE auto was doing. Spent weeks doin this n that eventually bit the bullet and took it to local independent and had checked on pro logic £35+vat. Straight away problem I'd,d duff injector. Did the replacement now all fine. Sould,ve taken it in first place would have...
