Mines is fine I've still got 15,000mls until empty so will get topped up by the dealer during servicing. I'm sure I read it's roughly 1000mls per litre of AdBlue. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200 |

I would say be very careful with Adblue, When working on the trucks we had many problems with it but mainly due to human error..

I think add blue is a real pain in the ass as my 2015 ford transit uses more add blue then diesel. I find it cheaper to drive 20 miles to Exeter services garage who has a add blue fuel pump which is cheaper then buying it in a bottle. |

There's no doubt this will become another money-making venture for the manufacturers who will all have complex filling arrangements that require their own bottle rather than something simple that people can fill themselves.... |

The car gives you plenty of warnings that you are running low, so if the owner is stupid enough to ignore the 3 warnings then they get what they deserve. So far I've had no problems with it, don't even know it's there.

when my MX5 was in for a service I was speaking to a guy with a CX5 which was in to have Adblue problems fixed.

A few Discos had problems with sensors but that seems to have been sorted now. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200 |

ad blue arrived on farms a few years ago, everyone expected many problems, mainly on things like combine harvesters, parked up for many months then expected to run fine.

Most Combine Harvester owners have bigger things to worry about than AdBlue

Modern engines need a lot of cooling to meet the tier 4 emission regs,, this is causing problems with dust and straw collecting on the new egrs, dpf ,adblue injection areas . so fires result, the extra engine fan capacity simply feeds the flames

I think I will stick to my 09 Plate SE NON DPF car as it has only done 49+ K miles and although it is quite heavy on fuel,especially on Forestry Commission tracks I am thinking "Why fix it if it ain't broke" Hove much per litre is the sheep/cow pee anyway?
