Hello
Wondering if anyone has had problems with the DPF on RR Evoque? I have had two new DPF's fitted in the last two years and it now needs another one, despite me driving the car as it should be. The first one they did under warranty, second one under goodwill but they want 3K for another new one!
I don't think it should have failed again, since I drive the car for 60 minutes, at least twice a week. Plus the other short and even longer journeys.
I was told to drive it 40mph twice a week for 20minutes when i got it...can anyone advise?

I got so pissed off with being told by software to drive at certain speeds by Land Rover, I sold the car and will never buy another diesel.

That and bloody AdBlue.

Well documented issue with Ingenium diesels. I'll keep my old 2.2 Sd4 Freelander 2 for as long as practical then I think I'll be done with modern landrovers sadly.

That's unfortunately the conclusion I'm coming to, too...

Me too with our DS 2.2 with the Ford diesel engine, for the same reasons.
