2005 4.4 v8 vogue petrol.
Our range rover just went away on a tow truck. Firstly noticed smoke on acceleration then as you were coasting in drive approaching junctions etc the engine started making a whine almost like a supercharger sound.
Pulled over and inspected upon revving the engine gently as the revs fell it made the whine briefly. Upon attempting to move to a safer place the car set off but promptly whined and died, restarted it and made it a few yards and died again. attempted restart and it just made a horrible deep whine. by then It was in a place that was a bit safer to be broken down. Didn't attempt to start again as it sounded like it had seized.
On arrival of the recovery truck the guy started the car and drove it on the truck with no issue or noise. its now on its way back to the dealers we bought it from.
Any idea what could have happened?
