From new the oil usage was about 2L between 4,200km and 4,300km - it also went from clear to black. Topped up, changed oil at 4,500km and again at 10,000km (and filter) and hasn't used any.
It's not just the small diesels the bigger ones will too. Its just something about the new generation of diesel engines.
Exactly what I saw.Quote:

Derek I'm just going on what landrover Australia told me in an email...when we asked them the very question.Quote:

It's not a recall but your selling dealer would have been sent out the proper kit FOC from Land Rover.Quote:

I sent Ian a copy of the service schedule last week. 10000km intervals for Australia but the 10000km services (30k, 50k...) are just an oil change, no filter so it might have something to do with the fuel quality out here.Quote:

Can I get some more detail such as:
Which ARB dealer is fitting it?
Is it the new shape bar or old shape bar?
I have in writing from ARB that it won't fit. There is one SVX owner on here (Drover from memory) has had the old bar fitted but cut the bar where the driving lights are.
I would prefer to fit the Scorpian Bar but don't think that will fit either without some modification.
I will post up a pic of the SVX Key chain soon.

Rover craft winch bar will not fit (I’ve tried), the tips of the bar hit the outboard driving light before the mounting bolts lineup.
Custom made or modify are your only choices.

From what I've been told if you modify an ARB or TJM bar then it is a modified bar, and not recognized by your insurance company as it is no longer the bar that was deigned and passed ADR.
Don’t know about the insurance thing, but it sounds logical. When I was inquiring about an ARB bar about two years ago and I mentioned modifying the bar. Ie removal of the cross bar in front of the driving lights. The guys at Northern 4wd center in Wangarra were less than impressed with the idea. They did say that if I modifying the bar, they would void all warranty and ARB would no longer be responsible. Which I guess is fair enough. As you say the bars are specifically designed and ADR approved.Quote:
