Maybe they can actually make the ad blue engines slightly more dirty to get more power safe in the knowledge that the aftertreatment system will clean it up nicely!

My 2012my 8 speed doesn't seem as quick as my 2010 6 speed but i have put it down to the gearbox. The 6 speed seemed a lot quicker off the mark despite being 10bhp down Previous Discos

I've owned two "Adblue" Landmarks, both notable faster than my previous D4's. No explanation as to why, but I'm guessing it's down to "mapping".
Possibly more than just tinkering with the mapping. I think it may be more to do with the fact that the complete engine ECU (PCM) is actually different on the 2016 models.
