On a different topic I read about Ad Blue and DPF that helps to reduce emission and to be compliant. In my VIN number I have G, which has per some other threads means that I have DPF on my discovery.
On week days I use the vehicle to go to the nearby train station which is around 12 km return. As per few posts I might have issues if I don’t travel at 80 km/hour for atleast 1 hour which has caught me by surprise. I purchased the vehicle for daily short drive, drive more on weekends and long drives on long weekend travelling interstate.
I would like to know if anybody else in my situation using the Discovey and what kind of issues they’ve had. Thanks!
I’ve gone for 2 months or so of city driving.
No DPF issues here [emoji16]

I have a 2003 TD5 that is driven less than 10K a year and mostly in short trips. So I get it serviced every 6 months regardless of kms travelled and I do try to take on the highway when I can. Obviously I don’t have a dpf which requires the longer drive to operate correctly. My other drive is a D3 V8 which is better for short trips but I still try to drive it longer if I can.

Just because it has a DPF does NOT mean you need Adblue.
There was a period where diesels had no DPF, then they mandated DPF's to meet specs, then they mandated Adblue.
I wasn't aware that any Disco 4's used Adblue. If you need it, there will be subtank somewhere to put it in. Some seem to think you add it to the diesel - YOU DO NOT!
In my Wrangler I did about 40km a week and then I did a 400km round trip roughly once a month and sometimes I would see the exhaust temp rise when it was burning out the crud, and other times I never knew when it happenned.
I'm sure other Diesel Disco drivers will chime in here with correct info.
On a seperate note I am planning to purchase rock sliders even though I don’t have plans to do hard core off roading for now.
Have read about APT and GOE ones and I understand that APT ones are steel and much stronger than the alloy ones from GOE. My question is does anybody know if these rock sliders will interfere with that curtain airbags?
My intention is to buy rock slider with some sort of step for easy access and protection from door dings. Thanks !
