With ignition on use the small "ok" button on the steering wheel to scroll down from the main menu to the service menu then choose from there - its next to the oil check option Thumbs Up

You have done the engine oil level check before ? Shocked

What a load of crap. We have the service plan so LR filled it up "free" but how much better would it be without it. And we'd have a bigger fuel tank to boot. And It would weigh less. And use less fuel. And we'd not have to waste a day and 80 miles dropping it off. And have a loan car. and. and. and.

/rant over/


The D4's tank is the same size, with or without AdBlue.
AdBlue serves a very useful role in greatly reducing NOx emissions.
As I've swapped between 2014, 2015 and 2016 D4's, I've noticed no difference at all in mpg (they are all equally bad, with or without AdBlue! Rolling Eyes )
Filling the AdBlue tank is no more difficult than filling the washer reservoir; why would you take an 80 mile round trip to the dealer and ask for a loan car?

I'm happy to buy AdBlue (at £11 for 10 litres, every 7,000 miles or so in the D4) for the benefit of reduced air pollution.


+1 Thumbs Up

From what I read a DEF system makes a significant improvement to emissions.

I had a service plan on my previous D4, so I telephoned the nearest LR dealer (not the one I purchased from) and booked it in for a free top up. I waited 20 minutes for them to do it, whilst drinking nice coffee and looking at the shiny showroom vehicles. they also offered to wash the D4 for me (no charge), but I declined as I needed to get on.

I don't have a service plan on my latest D4, so I'll just buy a container of DEF and top it up myself.

Not seen any issues like that yet so long as lid is refitted, but it irritates the hell out of your skin as it dries.
Any spills clean up with plain water.

It wont be long and someone will bring out a patch or an emulator for the system, you can actually buy them for the trucks on the web.

England 

Mine goes in for service Monday, 10k on the clock with a range of 7k of adblue.

We have just recently put a new Renault Master with a 2.3 dci engine on the road, supposedly get up to 7000 miles on a tank of Adblue which holds 20 litres, after 3000 miles we have put 20 litres of adblue in it today.
So has the 3.0 litre that LR use have much better Nox emissions than Renaults 2.3 Question

You sure you can't transfer the one off your old car as it was written off rather than sold. A lot of these plans have a clause for a total loss vehicle.

Worth checking and I will. Thumbs Up

However NFU offered me a choice of a cash settlement or have the vehicle repaired. I chose the former and as it wasn't "written off", I wasn't able to buy it back. So it will be repaired and sold. As such the service plan may stay with the vehicle, in theory I think it should.

£20 from Halfords would've done the job. Thumbs Up

With the D5 I received a top up bottle though I didn't get one with the D4. Which reminds me, I need to check the range and make sure the top up bottle is just that or whether it should be in the tank.

...which means that all of us and our families not only have to breath in the NOx that they are now emitting again, but we all of the rest of us suffer from further increased legislation and fresh tax raising activities (as we've seen in major cities recently) on the basis of trying to limit the seemingly relentless increase in NOx pollution levels.

People like these eBay opportunists should be put out of business and the AdBlue system evasion needs to be included as part of basic roadside checks.

Iirc the trucks have to keep any emissions faults for 18 months, but if the system is working fine and the guy adds the emulator there will be no errors to store so roadside checks wont show it up.

I can see the future for cars at mot time having to be plugged in and a full system check carried out, but again if the egrs are blanked and theres no faults to record how will anyone tell they have been blanked?
