Not got a car that needs it, but it’s an easy job on trucks and tractors, just think it’s LR that made it difficult.

Excuse me if this is explained elsewhere but................can you fill a D5 at the Adblue pump at the servo?

Yes, I guess that the system would register the fluid. You'd be better just putting in de mineralised or distilled water. The other bits in urine may cause problems. Like sugar and protiens and salts.

No idea why it’s called Adblue here - probably because it is mostly a blueish sort of colour but I’ve seen greenish stuff too, as well as clear. Most places around the world just call it for what it is - DEF - Diesel Exhaust Fluid.

Here's a link to an informative article by Robert Pepper who was a member here when he owned a D3.

Yes you can, but I've never done it as I get the dealer to top it up with the expensive stuff :)

And you will need a funnel and lots of patience... It will only accept a very slow flow because of airlocks in the line. You can get one of the 2 litre bottles from Land Rover, cut off the bottom and use it as a funnel. This may speed up the process.

I should have a look tomorrow but thought there was a white funnel in the dashboard locker, came with the car.
