That sounds like good news but how do you explain loosing 3L of oil. I'd remain cautious but optimistic 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

Roean says there isn't a turbo drain mod, they even rang Land Rover Direct who also told them there isn't one!!!! We know more than the so called experts mate. |

He couldn't tell me unfortunately. I thought he would. He says there is newish sealant around the lower core plug though.

Update, the car is still going okay. There is still a puff of smoke when the second turbo hasn't been used in a while but no smoke if used again over the next few miles/days.

Green Oval is a great company and know their stuff with this mod, they did mine and it completely resolved the issue. Mine resembled a James Bond movie when overtaking etc if it hadnt stretched it's legs for a few miles, absolutely horrendous. BMW i3 Electric Car

Save yourself a load of cash and risk with the turbo drain mod by simply booting it above 2500rpm regularly when warm Gone to a good home: 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"

It's never going to cause a runaway as it's not dumping oil in the intake side. Mine smoked very badly when I first had it but I only get a mild puff now and again when I use the 2nd turbo. Seems to be worse in summer as I've gone a few months in the winter without using the 2nd turbo and not seen smoke. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

Thanks for the replies. Just changed the oil again after draining the mini sump. Made sure the engine was nice and warm and no smoke at the moment.
