Hi Glen, did you convert the turbo filter to the vortex type, as that can give those symptoms.

My TD6 started doing the same, I changed the filter gregdav is talking about and it's a lot less noticeable now! I would recommend the BMW vortex type filter as I didn't and will have to change mine again next year!! |

Sure, I will do the air filter soon, just to eliminate it.

I seem to recall reading that Land Rover never adopted the vortex, and stuck with the loo roll type filter you describe. When I changed mine it was caked in oil! |

I would say yes, they will still have the loo roll filter. As stacker says, land rover stuck with the bmw m57 engine until the tdv8 took over.

Crazy that LR didn't switch to the vortex breather. I notice that some suppliers are even still selling the 'loo roll' type.

I believe l/r knew they would be phasing out the td6 for the tdv8, so probably thought it wasn't worth it.

Mine started doing this shortly after I bought it at 235000kms.

Hi Glen, if the loo roll type filter was full of crap, then that could be giving you back pressure in the crankcase, which I have heard can cause the dipstick to be forced out, I also believe it was the reason for a lot of turbo failures, good you changed it.

I'm glad this thread has come up again as I thought at the end of last year I had solved the problem with smoke on acceleration with my car, turns out I haven't.
