I have 3 L/R ad-blue containers which I use for filling the, just over 15ltr tank in the D5.
I went to Repco and brought a 10LTR container of ad- blue and decant this into the L/R containers.
I then fill the 10LTR container @ the nearest truck stop that has an Ad-Blue bowser.
so far, I have used about 45LTRS of ad-blue in the D5 since buying the vehicle in 2/2018 and, so far, it has not stopped.???

Hi Jack
i have a couple of the L/R ad-blue containers and I refill these from a, Repco 10LTR ad-blue drum, I have purchased. I refill this drum from any truck stop.
so far, have used 45LTRs this way and the D5 still keeps going.
uses about 1 LTR of ad-blue per 800km. more when towing the c.van

Hi Tom,
had to fill my ad-blue tank for the first time this weekend on 6cylinder D5, 9000 km and it wanted 13.5 litres put in, so used my “free” 1.89 lire Land Rover ad-blue and my own TRP branded ad-blue 10 litre container with the flexi blue convoluted fill hose, the genuine ad-blue is a screw on and push, but filling from the 10 litre container only took a few minutes and $15-00 cost, so happy with that.
the useage is not too bad really, so will just wait another 9000 km hopefully to fill up again.
be intresting when we hang the van off the back to see how much more it uses.
the filler neck is tiny, don’t know why, but with a funnel it will be quick and easy.

Be careful filling up like this.
If you overfill the car the sensor doesn't work and it thinks that there is no Adblue. This means that it will not start unless you remove some Adblue to get the sensor to work.
The manual specifically says not to fill up at bowsers, maybe for the above reason.
There is some stuff on Topix about it and LR is complaining that there has been excessive and unexpected demand for the 1.9l bottles, much more than they anticipated. It goes on to say that cheaper and better equipment is readily available so dealers should encourage owners to use it instead of the 1.9l bottles. Its a pity that the manual specifically says to use the 1.9l bottles and nothing else!!

Just filled up again using refilled bottled. Easy and clean but laborious.
Assuming the tank was full at 19L when new, after 11,300k I'm averaging 505k per litre which I nowhere near the 800k per litre the manual states. Driving is I suppose what you'd call extra urban. 50/50 city and highway.

I seem to fill my Disco Sport around every 5000km using a cheaper 10l bottle and refilling the 1.9l bottles to fill the car.
Much less laborious last time. My wife volunteered to fill it since she was sick of waiting for me to do it and she mostly drives the car. Now that she knows how I don't think I will be filling it again!!
