I have a 2012 LR4 with about 70k on it. I drive it like a grandma most of the time, but the other day I had to give it beans from a standstill while getting on the highway with a short onramp. I hit about 5k RPM in 2nd gear when I suddenly lost power and a decent sized puff of smoke was emitted. Check engine light started flashing and it went into limp mode. I pulled over immediately and let it idle for a min then shut it off, restarted it and its been fine ever since.
Took it to a indie LR tech and he recommended an engine flush, but I had just changed the oil so I decided to hold off for now.
Anyone else experience this? Thought? Comments? Was this just the equivalent of an Italian tuneup?
