My 2009 has gone in for exactly the same issue this morning. I'll update when I can. Cheers,

Mine smokes like mad if I start it without letting the glowplugs heat up....
I wouldn't worry too much, unless it starts to do it all the time. ... ,-------, .. I [__][_]|__ .. I __ |"_|"__| .. "(o)====(o)" ^^_-^-_^-^_^^^^^--^^^^ PAUL G7ALW 14.200 USB 26FB458 / 27.275 SSB |

mine does too in cold weather. So does my father in law's Puma 90. I believe its normal and due to some sensor in the engine calling for extra diesel when the ambient temperature goes below about 5 deg C in order to assist cold starts

Thanks Guys, I'd be interested what they say to Superspoons, and I'll post what my dealer comes up with next week but its reassuring others have it and it appears to not be something more serious developing. |

Had a call from the dealer this morning regarding the start-up smoke.
They have found "a loose screw which has shorted a special fuse" which is causing the issue 
Now, I'm pretty handy around a Landy but never have I heard a problem described quite like this 
A new fuse is on order and should be fitted tomorrow, I'll try and find out exactly what they mean when I pick it. Oh, and it passed the MOT Cheers,

Utterly
 off
Just been charged £200 for a £7.50 fuse which has been replaced to 'cure' the blue smoke on cold startup. "Warranty does not cover fuses" ....it may not but the fuse blew due to a short in the system caused by a loose screw. I saw the technicians note. Argued the toss, got nowhere. No real surprise. I was due to sit down with the salesman who sold me it back in April to discus a new 2.2 ... Absolutely no chance now. Not there, anyway. If I do change I'll buy private and take my chances - the warranty as I see it is not worth the paper it's typed on. Cheers, Superspoons |

Hi mine is the same, I informed LR who sent a techy, it turned out to be the enrichment, it only does it in the cold weather, nothing to worry about mate.
