Now that the new mot will be checking for DPF's, I was wondering what year LR started fitting DPF's to the RR sport? I have a 2008 model (pre-facelift) and after a quick look, it doesn't seem to have one?

I’m not sure on this but I think it was 2011MY, the early facelifts didn’t have them and the 2010 SDV6 has straight out exhausts, but 2011MY SDV6 has downward pointing exits for the exhausts and DPF’s. for sure your car would never have had a DPF 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Thanks for the reply, probably should have specified I have a 2.7 diesel with the stock exhausts pointing downwards.
So you think i won't have any problems come mot time if I don't have a dpf? I'm just not sure if the previous owner removed them.

I think they became mandatory in 2011 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

My Car is a TDV6 According to Topix it is a 2011 MY EU5 + DPF EMISSION

The exhausts are straight out  In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

My 2010TDV8 has a sticker on the top of the slap panel which indicates that there are non DPF and DPF versions of both the 3l V6 diesel and the 3.6l V8 diesel. So that would tend to indicate some markets had the dpf during the 2010 model year.

Mine is a 2009 facelift 3.0 tdv6 and that has the DPF with straight out exhausts Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

I have a 2008tdv6 and it has the dog.

I don't know if it was an optional part at that time, but mine certainly has to because it needed regenerating when I bought the car.

Haha just when I was 100% that there was no dpf's fitted in 2008 when it came out of the factory
Has anyone else got a 2008 2.7 diesel single turbo Sport?

It may have been a requirement for the Dutch market back then, but I’m sure that it wasn’t needed in the UK as neither my 2007MY TDv8 RRS nor my 2010MY FFRR TDv8 had any DPF’s but in 2011 my first Evoque did have one. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Think the early 59 plate RRS do not have a DPF. These models had a downward facing exhaust. Think the 2010 10’s were the first with DPF with the straight pipes. 3.0TDV’s.

My 2009 was registered on 31/10/2009 and it has the straight out exhausts. Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

Look underneath your vehicle...

I had a 18/08/2009 registered Pre-Facelift TDV8 (U.K. Car) and that never had a DPF.
