I have a 2011 FL2 and drive mostly on single lane A and B roads and over 14000 miles have not had any problems with my DPF. Also I regularly have access to a LRE FL2 which spends almost all its life off road or doing short runs on A and B roads and it neve has a DPF full problem. |

Well, mine has done 31000 km, which is what? 20.000 miles? No problems so far, and I certainly hope it stays this way! |

Thing is, both Arrjo and Atrix have older model FR2s which would not have had a DPF fitted in UK. From what I read on here, the latest UK models with DPF don't have the problems that the early continental models suffer from. |

What is the difference on the latest UK models compared to the older continental ones? I have quite a few issues with the DPF on my 2007 european spec model. It would be interesting to see if there is something that can be done, i.e. new software for the ECU or even getting a newer updated DPF unit (if the technology has changed to make it better). I wonder how all these Evoques are going to get on with their short school runs... |

That is just like my case! I drive my LR2 80% on highways and the rest is citydriving. I'm living in Finland and especially in winter time the car can not take almost any city driving before I have "DPF Full" or even worse "Visit dealer" warnings. The local dealer has updated the software, engine oil has been changed, but it is still the same. It seems to be a feature! Now I'm seriously considering to have another car, if this is not going be solved. I have a block heater to help the engine while cranking it up. p.s one funny thing is too that it won't start below -10 celsius w/o the block heater. Is that normal either? |

Just had a read through this thread, why is it everyone seems to think it is JLR not doing their homework?

I still insist that JLR attitude toward DPF-plagued FL2 owners was totally unaceptable. It took 5 years for JLR to solve the DPF-issue Recently, they have issued Q212-Update as a fix for car going into limp-mode right after first 'DPF-Full'-message. First FL2s with DPF came out in 2007. The whole time span between 2007 un 2012 JLR-garages told to complaining customers: everything works as it should; your driving mode is bad and bla bla blaa.. Not to mention regular and expensive garage visits and oil changes due to dilution effect. If that were the case no update would be needed. As for 'other brands have the same problem' just have a look at www.blacklandy.eu. 200 pages for FL2-DPF issues. Of course you can find problems by other makes, but the rate of occurance is in NO comparison with other brands. At least, I could not find a forum on German cars, where 200 pages are devoted to stories of unhappy FL2 owners left stranded by JLR with phrases - everything works just fine! And I would like to remind you that FL2 is by far not the most numerous car with DPF in Germany. The FL2 claimed to be able to cross the continents coudn't endure 3 week of city driving. So, I have every reason to believe that JLR didn't do they homework well in this regard and customers were left to pay for the faulty products. Sorry, for picking up this subject again, but when I read that JLR did everything ok, I can't help raising my voica again It seems that Q212 really helps to solve the issue. But lost trust you can't repair with an overdue update.. |

Well, I'll just have my 96 000 km service. So, if this update helps, I'm satisfied. My first DPF car was MY2008 Skoda Octavia 4x4 and I had no problems what so ever. That's why I've been so confused. Yet, Freelander has been a great car, when it comes to difficult terrain circumtances, thou I have also a tractor in the countryside. Look at the video and have fun:) |

Read the bit in the manual of my MY2013 SD4 ref DPF but can't find a DPF warning lamp or where a message comes up. Can someone put me straight, please. |

The message will come up in the message centre, where the fuel gauge and temperature gauge is, accompanied by an Orange light when it needs to be done, if you get the red one its trouble along with the visit dealer message.
