Down on that side of the engine is thr EGR valve and there could be an exhoust leak from that where it goes into the manfold or even s tubbo exhaust leak just take it back and tell them to give u a car while they fix it if they dont go to fair trading or consumer affairs or even report them to a motor trader association for sellin a dangerous car

When the dealer has sorted it out for you, come back and tell us what they said.

It could be the FBH running, who knows.
Better still - don't drive it. Phone LR assist and get them to collect. You don't want a) to risk it getting worse or b) let them have the get-out of "you shouldn't have driven it in that state"/

I can only add what I told the person with a 2 year old, still under warranty, vehicle , yesterday or the day before. It is still under warranty, any faffing about , can quickly void your warranty.
Take it back, let them do what they do and let them speak 'jargon' to you. You have paid them a lot of money to ensure you don't have to do spannering yourself. If you do not understand the jargon, ask them to explain, in layman's terms.
As for expecting the members of the site to guess what it could be. Really? If you took ill, would you ask people , on the internet, to guess what was wrong with you, with a vague description? No? Well vehicles these days are almost as , in some cases more, complicated than the human body. In a couple of years( not ten, that's wishful thinking by you), when you are out of warranty, the site will still be here. If you still have your Range Rover, you will, by then, have realised just how much the site is needed.
In the meantime, enjoy your almost new Range Rover, and the fact you don't have to pay for repairs, or work on it yourself. These are indeed the glory days

Hi I had some thing very similar but was never able to get to the bottom of it , mine started one morning when I popped the bonnet to top up the washer bottle , some rain water drained through proper Channels next thing i no I have got steam / smoke coming from the back of the battery area , it lasted for about 10seconds then stopped, checked battery and all leads plus removed battery checked all the wires nothing did the same inside the car by removing several panels from the dashboard and nothing , it happened again when I reconnected the battery , so at this point I decided to let a landrover specialist have a look as I feared I had a short but they could not find any thing , has not done it since but I would be interested to know if you ever find out what has caused yours as it sounds very similar

Indeed if its under warranty, leave well alone, any excuse to void a warranty.

Hi all
Since found that is a small oil leak from the cam cover, the seal is being replaced under warranty so no probs there.
Just thought i'd let you all know...

Didn't the classic have cup holders in the reverse of the cubby box lid? I ask cos mine fell oft pretty much straight away.Or a Classic, but it won't have any cup-holders let alone Wammers auto tampon remover

The classic being old it was manual, had a special attachment length of parachute cord for the tow bar.
