ive been reading about the debate on adding 2 stroke oiul to the diesel how can i tell if my car was made for the uk market as i want to find out if it has dpf so i know which oil to use thanks pete

Why would you think the car was not made for the UK market?

Is it right hand drive? RRS gone

How about just popping into your local LR dealer and asking them to check the VIN on the computer, a very simple exercise I'd say  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

If your motor is the one on your avatar then its showing its a 2005 model. You do not have a DPF.

ive no reason to believe it want made for uk i just want to find out if it has a dpf or not so i know whether to use semi synth 2 stroke or not cheers pete

Thanks ady it is the one on my avitar

DPF's was first fitted to the sport & Disco 4 models early 2010 onwards.

Thanks again ady you are a very knowledgable person sussing the age of my car from the picture.Having read all the info of the topic of 2 stroke on here and on the free2 site i think personally it cant do any harm to add it.My car has done 85000 miles on a 55 plate i think even if it wasnt added from new then it can only benefit the engine any thoughts cheers
