After 2 months after having my LR3 i was on trip to north and i decided to stop and have a sleep in car next morning it was freezing 4 degrees i started the car to get my self hot after about 15 min the neddle started to move a fraction then all of the sudden shot up to red and light and warning soun came on so i turnd off the engine and back on and whent to its normal half way turn engine of and on again and was quarter of the way up then i notice when i drove off i noticed the car was smoking quit lot i eased off the throttle and it stoped. So bit worried as to what it could be going to red when engine iddle for only 15-20 min
