[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

So let me see......derv is 10p a litre more expensive than petrol.......makes your car sound like a cement mixer......kills babies......and then on top of this you have to pay extra for this adblue piss.

It's worth it though, for the extra torque and power advantage over a petrol engine midrange, and double the mpg. 
Petrol is for low torque stuff, like garden equipment. 

I have about 530 'torques' as fatty Clarkson would call them. Pretty dieselesque, I think.

Well there you go, I have 630. 

I'm talking good old fashioned lb ft.......I think you are using these new-fangled NM (newton metres)

Ah ok, I'll give you that one.    Mine's a piddling 465 lbs ft then.

I blame the government. Ten years ago they insisted derv would save the ozone layer, save the ice caps, and save the polar bears.

Derv was also supposed to bring about world peace.

A very valid point, so why should we believe a word they say. 

I'm easily confused, so I own both petrol and diesel so I can't be completely wrong.

 Mines 2500nm,  that's a foreign measurement

1844 lbs ft, that's quite a lot.    Yours is a mobile warehouse though.

Legitimate question, do you have to wait for the adblue message, or can you top it up randomly.

I've just added a gallon every now & then before any messages appeared.

well after being told that i have problems with an adblu pump & to fix it i would have a bill of £1500 + to get it sorted but because since the warning lights havent appeared again & the car is running as it should i was having doubts of what i was told. next monday it was meant to be getting the work done. they were going to have my car for at least two days & i would have a loan car.  because of my doubts i took my car to a guy who i know is really good & got him to check it out. good news all was ok except for a minor B.S.I issue.. so at the end of it all no pump issues & well worth the 1hrs journey down the M1 .

Mine holds 17L of adblue but in fairness I've only covered about 3K miles in it so could be a while yet. I've got 20L on standby in my garage but I wasn't sure if it had to pop the message up to know roughly what was in there as you have no gauge.

Nice one, that's saved you a fair bit of money then. 

[Doctor Gollum]

The newer Bulmors at a previous job used to do 50 litres of Diesel a day and 10 litres of ad blue

Glad I didn't have that bill

[Marks DTM Calib]

Just fill the ad blue tank to the brim,It will possibly sort its life out then.My lad topped up his Skoda Karoq part way and the car wasn't happy so he filled it and the problem went away

I've yet to have any sort of Adblue message on my ML and have just added a gallon every now & then in the last 12 months/10000miles. I'm not able to get an Adblue tank level indication so haven't a clue what's in there.

Gen 1 system then, Gen 2 added level indication when they sorted the fundamental floor with the ultrasonic level sensor (keep doing what you are doing.......don't over fill it)
