It is always necessary to cool the turbos before switching off

The stop-start system on recent models gets in the way of letting the engine idle while the turbos cool. Probably best to disengage the system before coming to rest after a hard run.

2012 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Santorini Black

Mikey/Brit, I agree. Some don't... surprisingly. You'd think a bill heading for £4k (SDV6) and a body off if you your turbos might influence but there you are.

My TDV6 is on its original turbo at 207k miles

In fact, I've never had a turbo failure on any of my cars

2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 Autobiography Firenze Red

When does the need to idle for 30 seconds arise, only when shutting down after a sprightly drive, or after grandad style driving aswell? I never think about this, but it usually takes me at least 30 seconds to reverse into my drive and my driving is mostly pretty calm, especially near my home which is just outside a small village. Should i be considering sitting stationary idling for 30 seconds aswell? 13MY Range Rover Sport Autobiography SDV6 - mine

Jammy sod Mikey... Mind you mine going on the RRS was my first ever, including a couple of Saabs with similar 200k plus mileages. And my first ever inlet manifold fail. And first, second and third wheelbearing failures. And first ever handbrake failure. Second ever alternator failure too so not all bad

On form though, simply a brilliant drive, esp Alive tuned.

From what you say you should be fine. I had more in mind a good thrash up the M5/6/74 and A702 from the Mids home, so lots of fast running for 5 hrs. Though any decent drive at pace/high revs for a reasonable time and just let it tick over. 20 or 30 secs is nothing in the scheme of things.
