The dealer suggests i go for a long drive, which i have done and then experienced the same problems on shorter drives the next day. Apparently this is how modern diesels with the Add blue feature work. This car is 6 months old and is my little luxury in life and after up grading from a perfect older 64 plate diesel evoque (pre add blue) is now is one of the worst purchases i have ever made. I have parked the car a number of times and seem white stinking smoke coming from the exhaust without the engine running.

I see other people complaining of this on the forums but should you really have to sit in the smell of a bonfire once a week in such a luxury brand car? I will hand this car back as soon as I can arrange a refund with the dealer/RangeRover.

If, as the dealer suggests, this is how modern Diesels work, i would be interested to hear if anyone else experiencing this DPF regeneration on such a smelly and regular basis?
