i got thinking that when i initially filled the ad-blue tank with 10ltrs the urea light went out, but when I read the tank holds 17ltrs & I filled it to the brim thats when the UO29D code appeared & eml stayed on . today I took 3ltrs back out & that cleared everything. by over filling it I guess i confused the sensor happy now :y

You could have just pissed straight into the tank Ray. :D

My Audi holds 17 litres, I just wait for the 1500 mile warning to pop up and then I shove 10 litres in.
Mines a bit of a glug, glug glugger to get in so it pisses me off doing it. I did consider stabbing a hole in the base of the container to let more air in but then it would probably piss back out all over my car. ;D

Has the tank got a level plug or line as a visual? But, knowing French cars ,it's probably buried in the depths of the engine bay, far removed from daylight. :)

no nothing like that . the fusebox in the glove compartment is a nightmare as found out when trying to check if it was a fuse fault

I've yet to see any kind of warning on my Merc for Adblue ..... I've done around 30k & have only ever put a gallon in as & when-ever. I once, unintentionally brimmed it.
-
Could that be as simple as needing a DEF refill :-\
;D

They get a bit sensitive to low levels if you ignore the warnings.

General consensus is most DEF equipped road cars use about a litres of the shite for every 500-600 miles. Guessing your ML isn't quite as economical on the lorry juice as most cars, so not sure if it uses a bit more DEF.
Her car has a tiny pigs piss tank - 9l I think - so gets half a Screwfix/Toolstation (whichever is cheapest on the day) 10l can as soon as it starts moaning,

I deliberately chose my car because it doesn't have DPF or piss tank.
Will pay the price for that if Captain Underpants gets his way extending the ULEZ to include Heathrow :-X

Apparently mine says it will take 10L if I fill it now and it's got about 4000 miles to empty (iirc), so no idea how much it holds.
Does driving style matter or is it a straightforward X ml of p!ss per gallon of diesel?

....

it really depends on how hard you press the loud pedal. I drove to Trentham Gardens this week & saw 39.2mpg :y but that was a steady-ish 65mph due to the M6 .... I can see high 20s/low 30s around town. But can see low 20s if I clog it from the lights etc ::)
I've never worked out how much pig pee it uses .... as above, just stick a gallon in every now & then

Trouble is, anything less than 12 years old will have a DPF, and last 5 years, a piss tank :(

Both of which seem to be a prerequisite of Euro 6 which is the diesel standard of choice for the wokist clungemongers.
Petrol is only Euro 4, which, given the price differential of the two fuels makes the idea of running something more interesting rather tempting. Especially as it will cost me £12 a day for every day the car is in the car park at Heathrow. >:(
Although the Alabama Mumsybus has proven to be quite versatile, having lots of room for activities...
