Which diesel fuel for my Land Rover Discovery?
I live in Northern Ireland and recently bought my first diesel-engined car, a Land Rover Discovery 4 HSE automatic. I would like to use Shell V-Power but it is not sold in Northern Ireland. Are there any equivalent brands of diesel I can use?
Also, I read about the potential problems with dual mass flywheels - does an automatic car have a dual mass flywheel?

If you can't get V-Power diesel, go for BP Ultimate. I always had good results on it and no DPF trouble. No DMF worries with an automatic because the torque converter takes the strain rather than the flywheel, but DSGs, S-Tronics and Powershifts do have DMFs.

Imperious on and off-road, hugely practical, more desirable than the current Discovery, refined and high-quality interior.
