From a fair bit of reliable feedback I would go to Clarkes all day long. Gone to a good home: 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"

Glad you seem to have gotten to the bottom of your issues KevinP... These things can be very unnerving can't they... |

Thanks Craig. It was very unnerving at the time as it had never done it before.

Well it's got a lot worse even to the point of smoke still coming out the exhausts when stationary if I've revved it past 2500rpm.

Never had to top up oil before, just checked the level before I go to Clarkes and I've had to put 3 litres in!!

That's a lot of oil to lose.

I check my oil every week, but it is a pain to open the bonnet and then get back in the car just to enter the service menu on the TFT screen and see if all is well |

No need to open bonnet. Check it cold in morning. Should be one or two notches above mid line. Gone to a good home: 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"

The last time I drove it there was no low oil warning!! I would have expected one giving the amount I had to put in.

You can put reconditioned turbos on instead of new Genuine if that’s what they’re quoting Gone to a good home: 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"
