England 2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Nara Bronze
After 7 1/2 years it had to happen.

I've had my sport since new in 2006 and this morning it suffered it's first breakdown.
When it was new it had the usual problems with sensors and bushes but until now has never let me down.

My wife was driving normally and all of a sudden there was a bang, she couldn't tell where from, and the car went into limp mode. There are no warning lights on the dash and the engine is smooth at tickover but under power it kicks out loads of brown smoke. I'm thinking EGR valve or turbo.

Any ideas? 2014 Nara Bronze SDV6

I hope that it is a simple fix

For us new owners it is good to know that it is the first fault in 7.5 years. Makes a change from all of the horror stories that some would have you believe is the norm for this marque
