The low DEF warning message comes on 1,500 miles before you'll run out, which is excessive and annoying. There's a reason LR dropped the diesel engine. If you're going to frequently tow heavy loads the engine seems to do great, but for more typical commuting and shopping use it doesn't seem fit for purpose.
Are there recalls for this? I love the diesel I think it’s drives great.
