    I wonder if you could lift just the front ? Lifting body to remove rear dynamic sway bar

    looking at the EGR Cooler as the culprit

    Hi
    On speaking to a Range Rover mechanic, he suggested that the EGR cooler may of failed, as this gives similar symptoms as a blown head gasket, pressurising the coolant overflow bottle and white smoke out the exhaust.
    So for a few hours labour, this will be my next move.... fingers and toes crossed!!

    oh that would be a possibility of how it consumed the coolant too

    Trouble with that is that sometime in the future someone who was unaware could die.

    for sure i thought if this, and you would need to take it down if you ever moved, and possibly put a sign on it warning of this if you unexpectedly died and someone else found it.

    for reference, here's the egr coolers. i would expect if one was cracked and leaking coolant into the exhaust intake an inspection of the inside could show evidence similar to how a spark plug in a cylinder with a blown head gasket will be steam cleaned.

    one could likely also pressure test the coolant/water jacket

    If you are exceptionally lucky you may have a DIY workshop with hoist close by!
