Probably when they repair this, some oil fall down and there are dirty parts with oil. Yuri

My car is in at the dealer as I write this message. I had a smell of gearbox oil in the cabin. Most noticeable as I slow down to stop at lights for example.

My car is now back from the dealer. It seems that the problem was indeed a recurrence of the breather tube fault. Now LR technical support has recommended the fitting of a filter to prevent egress of any oil fumes. I am keeping a nose on it. |

See my posts above about the same breather pipe problem. So far the problem seems to have gone away. |

You will probably find that the continuing smell of oil after the fix arises from the oil drips that have been absorbed into the sound proofing on the inside of the sump guard. When this has "aged" the odour will go away. It has just about done so on mine. |

oil smell started 3 days ago, had the vehicle taken back into landrover via landrover assisstance, landrover told me it was a breather pipe problem which they fixed, took the FL2 home and whilst arriving home noticed the vehicle was over idleing just above 1000 rpm so the next morning phone up LR and took me FL2 back.
