    Angry What have they done?

    I had my 2012 D4 serviced yesterday and just as they finished, the motor began over revving, a huge bank of white smoke and then copious amount of engine oil on the ground, along with a few bits of shiny metal.

    Any ideas of what caused this and how much to repair. It is still under warranty thank goodness.

    Sounds like an over speed incident from a leaking turbo feeding the engine its own oil...

    You'll be getting a shiny new engine I think if thats the case...

    A 4-71 is a 2 stroke diesel with a Roots Blower. Not a Turbo. Something else went wrong there.

    Hoses don't really have anything to do with it - its normally the internal turbo shaft seals leaking enough oil into the intake for the engine to run on it

    I realise that, but if you are looking for signs that the seals are leaking, a good place to look would be inside your turbo hoses for any more than a light smear of oil. Father than wait for white smoke to appear at the exhaust. Wouldn't it?
    Cheers, Billy.

    Can happen if engine is overfilled with oil too.

    Going back to post 1, that sounds likely
    By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.
