thanks for that,
just gave him a quick call, and advice was as the rest, remove the dpf at a cost of £550, he did also mention taking it to peugeot, to see about a forced regen. but says as the max count has already been reached, its unlikly they can do one. so they would only offed a new dpf.
and yes it gets town driven all the time, im a delivery driver for domino's, lol. oh well guess its time to start saving for dpf removal, but what to do in hte mean time.

just gotten in from peugeot, where i had a nice chat with one of the service guys, unfortunatly a forced regen is now no longer possible, as the DPF is more than 75% blocked, he did say they could try but with no guarentee of success and at £75 per hour labour, they would need the car for at least 3 hours, also factor in the £135 for an eloys top-up, and its the thick end of £300.
so options are,
1, pay peugoet to fix it fully, £1000+ (new DPF, eloys fill up ect)
2, put some eloys in and see if it works £40 + 10 mins labour (mate doing the work)
3, pay a specialist to remove the DPF, map out all dpf and regen functions, £400. (would gain about 30% in power, 30% more torque and about 5-7mpg more overall)
considering the type of driving i do im not sure getting a new dpf would be the right thing to do, as i 1/2 yrs it would be blocked again. so i think the only option is to get it removed altogether.
i have talked with several companies, including vosa, who all state that the dpf is not required, however the smoke (i presume they mean carbon smoke) coming form the back has to be within the set limit for the car. so it is possible to remove the dpf, fit a straight pipe, and get it set-up. this however might not be the best plan as in the next yr or so, all cars fitted with cats, dpf, ect must have it present at the time of the mot. so i think i will go the hollowed out option, as then the quick visual inspection that is done would at least look as if its there.
has anyone herd anything about avontuning as thats who im looking at getting to do the work.
