has anyone actually had their dealer top their car up for free yet?
The cost of DEF fluid is pittance in the scheme of owning a car like this and of no concern but the principle is if i have the service pack and its included. So, does it include the DEF liquid or just the toping up procedure?
I've done it myself so far and probably will going forward rather than a 40min drive each way for a man to do the equivalent of topping up the screen wash but if they can bung me a bottle of the stuff with the service id be happy with that if its included in the service pack.MY06 S - Gone but not forgotten

My service is next month and I still have 11k left, I would get another year out of it or at least until the D5 comes out but it's something I will be checking when I drop it off.
My local Shell has just started to stock it, so it was 6 and two 3s whether I went to Halfords or my dealer previously. But as I say I've yet to top up.23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green

I have just picked up my new D5 and on collection had the adblue system explained to me and the importance of not spilling it on any paintwork due to it's very corrosive nature.
As for cheaper road tax !!!
When I ordered my vehicle in March the road tax was billed at £800 but having taken delivery today the road tax is now £1240
