More than just a little puff...
Does the engine still have the oil from the service after which the smoking started? If so, I would be wanting the dealer to drain and measure its volume and tested for the correct oil. There's a significant problem of some sorts.
Does it keep smoking if revved higher?
Yes, there's certainly a problem. The car was serviced a few weeks ago, but from memory the smoke problem started just before that. No oil checks have been done since then, or as far as I know since the turbo was replaced a week or so ago.
I'll show the video the guys at the dealership and see what they say.
The crucial thing I think is that after you give it the boot and produce that big puff of smoke, if you try to reproduce that shortly after, nothing happens.
HI Greg,
What is that loud click and then sliding actuator type sound just before the smoke up to when the lady says 'there you go'?
Mmmm...nothing significant Mungus, more than likely the dog's paws sliding on the plastic mat in the cargo bay. I did tell her to brace herself for the sudden acceleration, but you know, dogs sometimes don't take any notice...:-)Quote:

Yes I've seen that video Mike...much the same as mine. It's back to the dealer on Thursday. They're scratching their heads. I've sent them the YouTube link to give them something to scratch over.Quote:

Oil in the pipes between the turbos. There have been a number of different fixes from software updates to keep the secondary turbo running to new turbos.
Known issue.
Well, this will be interesting. LR dealer emailed me last week to say that LRA was sending over another turbo, this time a 'modified' one to replace the replacement they installed a few weeks ago. The car is with the dealer now and will be for a couple of days. Wondering why they didn't send a 'modified' turbo the first time. By the sounds of it, they just replaced the secondary turbo with the same type the first time.
