What is the effect of running out? I saw that the new Ford Ranger or something like that had a similar issue in that if it runs out the engine just refuses (not won't) to run.
If the effect is nil damage to car then I'd be looking at the sensor and making a 'it's full' add on for emergency use. In fact, I guess for emergency use I'd not care too much about no adblue. Can you toss water in and sneak away with that?
Euro emission vs stranded and dieing - that isn't exactly Australian is it?

SupporterAs per earlier posts in this thread the engine will not start. You get lots of warning messages before that, however. It also checks for the proper material I think. You wouldn't leave on a remote trip without making sure its full. If you did you would be a fool, its like leaving with no fuel in the tank.
The bulk stuff is available in truck servos and parts shops such as Repco, Supercheap, AutoOne and Bursons, so there is no trouble with availability. It is just the stupid Land Rover system of requiring the 900 mm special bottle to refill the tank that is the problem. You need to carry an empty bottle with you to fill it up when it becomes due, or any other time you want to top it up.

Seen this on youtube. Looks like you only need a standard funnel. Or could you just buy one bottle from Land Rover, cut the bottom of the bottle off and use that as a funnel.

SupporterThe bottle is designed to screw on and then you push it down to open a valve and let the fluid in. I assume that the valve is in the bottle so it doesn't spill when screwing it on upside down, so a funnel may be possible. It would be difficult to make the bottle into a funnel because you have to apply constant pressure to open the valve, I think. Also difficult to pour the stuff in from a 20l container where the filler is located in the engine bay.
Anything is possible and depends on what sort of a mess you are prepared to make and what your priorities are. However, we shouldn't have to be doing this. They should just have an easily accessible filler that you can fill up from a bowser, like some other cars have.
I will just continue to fill the bottles with a funnel and then screw them onto the filler in the correct way to minimise spillage and difficulty around the filler area. Every time I get a survey request from Land Rover I complain bitterly about it.
