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 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.
