    My wifes livid 😡. Thought I was lying when I told her smokes belching out engine. No engine management light came on too warn me plus the engine temperature gauge was at cold even though been driving for 30 mins when all this happened. It's been a nightmare the whole car thing. Looks like this is my last LR ever now Big Cry

    I took a video of the incident which I will be escalating too the very top at LR tomorrow.

    We had the usual new car smell of burning but not too bad. Yes you noticed it whilst stopped but no burning eyes just the smell. Done 700 miles no more smell. The one I took for a test drive back in February had only done about 20 miles ended up with the windows open because that smelt of burning.

    Car had 30 miles on the clock, when picked up today not happy in the least as my last ones all had under 10 miles on the clock. Yes I know the new smell that you mean, but the fumes were acrid/ acidic like. It was like a volcano spewing out fumes before the eruption. Last thing I would have expected on a brand new car, plus why it never happened earlier today is beyond me?? Car was not even thrashed or floored. Took it easy sitting at 55-65 all day. Not happy. God knows what would have happened if I had thrashed it initially.(not that I am that stupid too do that in the first place)

    Yes Stu, First Editions only come in a 3 litre diesel. You don't get the 2l diesel or 3l petrol variants in the UK market for some reason.

    I have 30 days under my consumer rights too reject the car. What's worrying me now is if there has been more serious engine damage. Just lead too knock on failures in the coming days.

    When you say smoke coming form the engine, is this from the engine bay or the exhaust.
    If its the exhaust the D5's have a new ultra low temp DPF regen that causes a lot of smoke and can happen just after the engine has been started and without having to travel for a distance.

    I've had this a very unpleasent smell but nothing since.

    What Russell says makes sense, especially as there is no warning lights on and no "visible" signs of something burning.

    Hi Russell it was coming from the engine bay itself not the exhausts. Was coming out the top end where the windscreen is and around the bonnet sides. When I reluctantly opened the bonnet it was smoking from the bulkhead area, like a volcano. Could not see because it seemed the issue was deep down in the bay, plus with all the smoke i could not see anything. Also not wanting too give the engine more oxygen so I closed the bonnet, as had no fire extinguisher. All I had was bottled water too dampen the smoke which I luckily had as a back up if things turned nasty. Still smoking after 30 mins. Still a strong smell this morning. Am just hoping not too much damage. (My brother had the whole cars wiring loom replaced just after 3 months on the D4 a few years back.) :blub

    Yes I am aware of the new burning smell on new cars as I have had several in the past but when the cabin is getting the fumes inside and smoke bellowing from the engine bay you can safely assume something is not right. Never had an issue like this ever on any car before. Sad

    Travelled 115 miles no problem. Stopped 3 times during the journey. I would have thought this should have happened initially, not well into my journey. Plus not as if the engine was hot as sat about 65 mph all the way with 3 x 1 hour breaks inbetween. Shocked
