Actually, I'll qualify that - the seller does give quite detailed specifications in the item description.
But for this to be useful, we'd need to know the matching specification for your vehicle.

I fear I do not.

So it has been a couple of weeks since buying the 2011 TDV8 and overall I am pretty happy with it.

Newish tyres and brakes, oil cooler changed, gear box serviced last year, however there are a few smallish issues.

Heated screen only partially heated, it does have a chip in it. Drivers heated seat not working. No DAB but also normal radio stations weak reception and phone connectivity crackly when speaking. TV works fine. Are these issues connected? I'm guessing aerial fault. CD player faulty but I knew this on purchase.

Bought some new wheel nuts, to remove the locking and original ones. Do the originals have a cap that you need to remove or do you just remove as one leaving the cap on the nut? Dec 2011 L322 Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8 Orkney Grey/Sand leather

Changed the wheel nuts over the weekend. Removed the 4 locking ones and all of the others. Some were swollen and I had to hammer a 22mm socket onto them.

I would recommend everyone checks them before you need to remove them on the road.

For less than £30 it is probably best to change them every year or so as a service item. Dec 2011 L322 Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8 Orkney Grey/Sand leather

Read on Pistonheads about updated pipework on the 4.4 TDV8 to stop the oil buildup issue?

Can anyone explain this please? How can I tell if it has been done, or what should I do?

Many thanks Dec 2011 L322 Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8 Orkney Grey/Sand leather

Turbo drain mod. Don’t bother. Boot it above 2500rpm when warm and frequently. Easy and cheap.
Not all motors smoke. It’s a weird one tbh.
Plus drain mod requires drilling and tapping into the sump. Swarf. No ta.
Just boot it often and use the second turbo. It’s there for a reason Rolling with laughter Gone to a good home: 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"

Thanks Rob, I have been booting her a bit once warm and not seen any smoke at all, so I shall continue with this option Dec 2011 L322 Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8 Orkney Grey/Sand leather

As soon as the dash engine temp gets up to the middle give it another 15-30 mins before you 'boot it' to alow the oil temp to get up to operating temperature as this lags well behind the coolant temperature esp in winter. Also check the oil release valve in the filter housing (search previous posts) is sealing properly as leakage from here is a possible cause of the infamous smoke screen feature. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

No smoke means you’re driving it properly and it’s not prone to oil build up. Stay on that path 👍 Gone to a good home: 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"
