They won't reduce tank any further - next step will be banning diesels to sort problem

I've done 5k miles and still got loads left - people who drive in urban areas appear to be using more than expected

I fill up and it shows around 400 miles range with smaller tank so no worse than RRS1 Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Seems Land-rover can't get the owners manual right either. Mine says tank under front Bonnet on LHS fender. There is a lug there and when removed no tank. Question is where is the Ad-blue tank. Ad-blue cost 20 pence per litre in Australia, Land Rover probably wants ten times that because they think all owners are dumb smucks that have brought the vehicle for the brand name.

Anyone found the tank yet ? M16 SVD8 ,4.4 HSE with a few extras, Sold R50 , Wife SQ5 , BMW R1200GSW.

This shows a filler cap labelled AdBlue, in the engine bay of the DS -

Do you have adblue on MY16 rrsport in Australia - DS only just got ingenium on MY17 there I think but we've had it since MY16 in Europe  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Well I have an owners manual that says I do have DEF , shows location of filler and gives info on levels and what to do. Trouble is there is no filler under my bonnet. Very frustrating . I know I can ask the dealer which I will but I have searched the WEB and every site like this and nobody seems to know. What is more concerning is it doesn't seem important that one could be stranded if this stuff runs out. Most likely the majority of RRS buyers are just driving for the pose effect but I need my vehicle to be reliable on long trips , I'll be up for service before 6 months of ownership at current rates and I don't fancy having to get my car trucked a thousand miles to a dealer if I run out of Adblue. M16 SVD8 ,4.4 HSE with a few extras, Sold R50 , Wife SQ5 , BMW R1200GSW.

If you have adblue it will be visible in vehicle menu - this shows how many miles remain before top up required  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

No sign in menu only shows when next service is due on my car. I have V8 diesel with DPF so how else would the filter be cleaned ? Perhaps it is different and the V8 doesn't have Adblue even though the manual says I do ?? M16 SVD8 ,4.4 HSE with a few extras, Sold R50 , Wife SQ5 , BMW R1200GSW.

The dpf filter is something totally different and been around for years - it ignites and burns when needed to remove particulates

The adblue chemical breaks down nox

IRBails... It may be that your car was just pre Adblue. Why don't you ring your dealer and ask them? Re the DPF my 2008 TDV8 RRS had that so its been around for years.I have a friend who bought a Landcruiser earlier this year and it was the last that didn't need Adblue. By the way he wants the seats out of my RRS cause he finds the Landcruiser ones so uncomfortable!

Jools SDV8 arrived and fantastic even the infotainment!
1983 2 door Range Rover ARB Bar X9000 winch ARB Rear Bar now semi retired.
Many big trips done in this one.
1982 Rangerover nearly restored.
22 Defender D250 with lots of stuff for outback touring
Nice 2013 Freelander TD4 manual (for daughter to learn on) with much better stereo compared with previous SD4 SE with Meridian which sounded bad!
2013 Land Rover Defender ute.

2016 SDV8 maybe but why all the info and brochure about the environment and Adblue. I won't be upset if my car does not require, I am just surprised that I have an owners manual and brochure telling me I need to keep an eye on the Adblue?? Also no other board members have said the SVD8 does not use ?? Anyway I'll ask a dealer and then share the answer we will all be a little wiser.

I suspect same if you can't see it in menu and tank not there but dealer can confirm

You could look on topix too as it will be listed on build sheet if you have it

I know adblue for DS has only recently been rolled out in Oz and others still waiting - India still have 2.2 FL2 engine for example

Lot of people complaining handbooks are confusing as they are too general but all manufacturers do this now for all markets - there should be online brochure more specific imho Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

On my topix build sheet it shows

Quote:

UREA EMISSION TANK

I'll look at Topix am registered. I will be well pleased if I don't have Adblue, and it sure looks like I don't. Led astray by thinking the info in the owners package was to taken seriously.

Well we have the answer from Topix
