Ok.. I guess I will find out if it does or not, in about 300-900kms. A light on the dash should light up indicating that the filter requires regeneration.. (I have only done 250k so far) It is supposed to do that at 300-900k intervals..

I'm pretty sure you ain't got no DPF.
Have a look where the DPF would be. There is a bolt in the top of the housing. If there's a wire coming off the bolt you have one, if not, you do not.
IMHO, I say you don't,...I say no Aussie Defender does.

Where is it located, and I will have a look??

Which housing are you referring to??

Had an email from the dealer this morning (I paid a deposit a while ago for a Heritage 90) and he says they have received their allocation & will be in touch soon. Hopefully that means to tell me whether I'm getting one and also prices. If its too exy then I may have to decline the purchase and go to plan B - what ever that is...

Good luck!

As has already been mentioned, it is quite 'odd' that prices here are not being revealed!

In the UK, the Heritage 90 SW is about ?4k more than a 'standard' 90 SW... $ 8,000!

In OZ, a standard 90 SW is about $ 48k. So by a process of deduction, one would thing the Heritage 90 here would be circa $ 56k...

Will wait and see I guess!

I can't get to our Defender at the moment.
But the "housing" is easy to find. If you have a Defender brochure, you'll see a picture of the engine & accessories, & just after the exhaust leaves the engine you'll see a big "cylinder", which is what the DPF resides in, if ya've got one. Have a look at it, & ya'll see a bolt in the side of it,...if ya've got a wire attached to the bolt you'll have a DPF, but IMHO, ya won't. My Service Manager told me he'd never seen a DPF on an Aussie Defender.

Just checked a little while ago when I got home. It's hard to see and photograph. When you see these photos attached, you see a cylinder just below the big silver thing (Possibly the Turbo ??) .. Shown in the third photo, you see the cylinder, just behind that on the lower left there is a connector with wiring on it (Very hard to see if it's a bolt, can't see that far in that area. (So much stuff in these cars)). Last photo of the whole engine bay. (Also note that this is all on the drivers side)
