So I take it none of you have a DPF then? You all just have an oxy-cat?

well my.. my13 doesn't..december 12 build . on a side note Tim just going through a few of your pics on your flikr link ..thats a big kick ass dog you got there..lol

Haha, yep she's mean alright She might even get the courage to chase the neighbours cat out of the back yard one day.

Great. That's sorted that out. (Thanks Tim)

My NZ 2.2 2012 110 doesn't have a DPF either.

This thread Puma de-cat.....done!! [Archive] - 4x4 Community Forum (if you scroll down) says that on the 2.4 engine the 8th letter of the VIN indicated weather the 2.4 engine was EU-3 (T) or EU-4 (S) compliant.

The 8th letter on my VIN is R - does this indicate EU-4 No DPF?

A while ago there was a engine oil thread for Puma's in regards to engine oils that are suitable for DPF's....seeing that models can be identified if they are fitted without a DPF, can I then use ordinary diesel engine oil that does not meed DPF specifications.
Rimula X and Dello 400 is easier to find that specialist diesel oil.

"R"...As is mine.
So is this correct..."R"= Euro 4, so no PDF?
It appears to me, that external appearance, with/without is identical, except for maybe as someone has said, "wires"!
Does anyone have the definitive answer?.....Do we have 'em,....or not?

Spoke to the workshop manager at ULR today, & he confirmed that a DPF is not fitted to Defender.
Cheers, Pickles.

Cool, so I just find out I dont have one. I was a bit worried about all the short trips I make with this on.
