depends on the color of the smoke. black/gray/brown. probably oil. it is not abnormal for a disco with some miles on it to smoke alittle on start up. the problem is when it is constant after the motor has warmed up. Keep a frequent check on your oil. If you are loosing more than a quart every 3ooo miles then, then do a wet and dry compression test on the engine. Other causes than can cause smoke are: old air filter, fowled spark plugs, old oil, bad gas, some type of substance getting on the exhaust system.(check for leaks), If the smoke is white like steam, then the problem could be a cracked head gasket. I have a 96 with a 130k on it. it smokes alittle on start up, then stops. no oil loss. It is a common problem, but of no real concern. hope it helps. gotta love a rover. duboff

You probably have a little oil seeping into the combustion chamber while the engine is off. Once you start the engine, this oil is burned and causes the smoke you see.

Why wont my 1998 land rover discovery turn over?
Several things can cause your land rover not to turn over. I would start with checking the battery. Is it fully charged? Do you hear a click when you try to start it. If so, could be a weak battery or a faulty starter solenoid. Those two are the most probable.
