Since using such additives for several months I’ve had no eml lights

That was my point, it prevented nothing on mine.

Too little to late perhaps ?

You might be spot on, just a pity Adblue problems are only getting publicity now. I suppose if we'd known at the start we'd never have bought them.

this additive isn't going to make 7+ years of crystallisation go away over night - I expect its a 12 month process at best

as its exactly the same issue as gout - as far as I'm aware - it takes a big change in behaviours and diet and a long time with the right drugs to make headway - and again much like gout, some are more susceptible that others - does anyone really think merc didn't spend billions on designing it to make owners lives a misery and a costly experience

30 years working for this type of corporation and you get quite some insight - they aren't leading things in a healthy way , just slowly and surely in one way, with one ambition

Amazing isn’t it. If only I could make utter crap, gloss it with tinsel, run a bullsh!t over hyped brain wash campaign, fleece the day lights out of 99% global consumers, then tell them to do one when it all blows up….: Oh, it’s all part of the massive keep them poor strategy.

Interestingly the service schedule for the Land Rover Discovery 4 MY16 onwards has this item in it, starting from the two year, 32,000 mile service:

“Drain the DEF tank if the vehicle has covered less than 16,000 miles (26,000 km) in 2 years”

As my D4 is will be somewhat short of 16k miles in two years I'll have the tank drained & refilled at the next service., but I am inclined not to bother with additives in the interim.

I double dosed with the additive , it's all running nicely at the moment. 6 years on and 27000 miles .

Interested if that works, in my experience the faults normally start at 30,000 miles and thereafter.
