    2017 Discovery Td6 HSE Santorini Black

    Adblue

    just coming up to 3800 miles and the warning light has come on for the adblue Big Cry
    still makes a change from the tyre pressure warning light.

    going in tomorrow to the dealer for the day to get it all fixed.

    If I am going to have to top up every 4000 miles that will get quite boring? Does that sound about right?

    Booklet says it depends how you drive it......................

    Still, saved me cleaning it this weekend Thumbs Up

    Me too...... mine came on at 3500 miles.

    Kind of glad its happened to you as well as I thought it was just me.

    I did some checking today and the DEF tank has a capacity of 18 litres.... so assuming it was full as part of there pre-delivery inspection that will be multiple visits to the Dealership for top-up.

    You can check your actual mileage as per link below.

    Thank goodness for the Service Plan as this gives you FREE Top-ups.

    I'm going to ask for a couple of bottle to go away with to prevent having to go into the Dealership every 3500 miles...... what a pain.

    My D4 had a 17 litre AdBlue tank which gave it a range of roughly 17,000 miles, it went a full year and was topped up at its first service.

    3500 miles doesn't seem right, unless the D5 injects more into the exhaust system? I'll need to check the range on mine, I've got a 880 mile round trip from Fife to Romford on Friday.

    Yeap 3500 doesn't feel right to me either Confused

    How many miles to you have pre-Romford trip.?

    My 3500 miles included a trip to Hull & back with a car trailer, empty on the way down and carrying a Seat Ibiza on the way back (not excessive).

    I wonder if she uses more AdBlue under load.?

    Our DS needed a top up around 3500 miles as well. Maybe it's a new system.

    Checked mine when I collected it and it said approx 4000 miles, allowing for a period of adjustment I would expect it to settle for about that. You can buy 10 litres of adblue for £10-12 so costs about the same as screen wash and probably lasts longer...

    Sorry, but for me I don't see why people are unsure/confused/questioning about adblue. It wasn't that long ago that a litre of top-up oil would be needed to cover the same distance and would cost about the same. The key detail now is an electronic counter can give you an estimate of distance remaining... and not let you restart the car (bloody EU bureaucrats!!!!) Laughing Rolling Eyes Snigger

    Usage profile doesn't differ much from other manufacturers either (so not just a JLR thing) Thumbs Up

    There is no problem filling it, it's just the difference between the D4 and D5 is substantial. This perhaps explains why I got a top up bottle when I collected the car. I'll check my range tomorrow.

    According to the manual the Adblue tank is 18 litres.

    Consumption seems to be around 1 litre per 560 miles for the V6 engine. That should give you a total range of 10,080 miles to empty from a full tank.

    Since the consensus seems to be the first warning is at around 3,500 miles I'd suggest the factory default is to ship without a full tank of Adblue.

    I received a top up bottle with this car but not the D4, perhaps the top up bottle should've been in the tank and not in the boot Laughing

    Topped up today by my LR Dealer.......14.5 litres to fill it up......!!!

    From the replies above I can only guess they don't come full from the Factory, The Dealer thought that they did and thus do not have it as a PDI check.

    Anyway I'll see what the range says when I pick it up with a full 18 litres of fluid. Thumbs Up

    Isn't AdBlue refill a DIY thing? You can purchase from Amazon; refill cans come with built-in spout.

    Yes it should be a user serviceable item and probably is. However if you take up the service plan from LR then AdBlue top ups by the dealer are included as part of the package.
