 Do you let it warm up properly before revving it? Be gentle with it 'til it's warm and let it idle for a minute before turning it off if you can. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders 2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed | ||

 I ended up paying a small fortune to have the engine fully reconditioned and 2 reconditioned turbos . I run the car in for the first 1000 miles just like the garage told me. Now the car has covered 2000 miles and when you boot it there is a very faint whine which only lasts a couple of seconds ? also when the car has been parked over night when you start it there is a small puff of blue smoke from the exhaust , this soon clears and when the car is revved everything is clear,and runs mint all day. Am I heading for more trouble ?????   thanks
