I have a Disco 4 3.0 60 plate 11000 miles, I have been getting horns blown at me by other road users to inform me of the smoke, when I ask the car for full power, ie, when pulling away with full throttle, the smoke is gray and lots and lots of it.
Does any other owner have this issue?

Hello All. Thank for all the help, spoken to dealer booked in for 30/Aug car very much still within the warranty, good to see so many people willing to help as sometimes you feel as though the dealers just want to sell new cars and very expensive servicing.

I bought it in from a garage in the midlands near to where I live, best not name them but I am willing to go to any dealer that anyone can recommend.
I am also after a service soon.

Took the car into garage last Tuesday and just collected it, no smoke great, they have fitted a new turbo the one on the right, I think it was very costly and I must say Land Rover paid well done to them, at the same time the dealer did a first service oil etc at a cost to me.
Now I hope the car lasts one more year with no extra cost to me then I will change it, for what? lets just wait and see.

Percy
you say they replaced the one on the right, is that the drivers side, just to be clear.
