Thank you Geoellis,
The mechanic is checking the PCV valve, there seems to be some oil coming out there. I admit I have no clue if there should or not as I am not a mechanic.
Lets hope we find the problem.
Thank you to all for you help, I keep you updated.

In the gasoline versions, it is quite ordinary for some oil to get past the PCV and into the intake - just a poor design. If very much is getting past, it can be due to worn piston rings and excessive blow-by gases in the crankcase. Since a diesel can burn oil, I’m guessing they try harder to keep as much oil out of the PCV as possible, so that indeed sounds like a problem.

Good luck with it.

This just happened to me with my LR 4…I was parked in front of a garage..foot on the brake and suddenly the car accelerated and I crashed through the garage door into the garage..very scary experience and luckily no one was hurt but my car was severely damaged…! I’ve heard since of this happening with others…!

This just happened to me in my 2013 LR 4…I was stopped in front of the garage with my foot on the brake when suddenly the car accelerated and crashed through the garage door propelling me into the garage…I was shocked…luckily no one was hurt but car was totaled…! I’ve since heard of other SAS …sudden acceleration syndrome..with this model.

Why is it these indys play the hunt and peck and musical swap parts game… when the most efficient path is follow the pinpoint tests.
Makes one contemplate if they have the right inde… or just go to the dealer.
