Had to remove the aircon condenser as it had a hole in it. (how come it is the most expensive 1?) and while it is out i thought i would clean out the dpf with a pressure washer. But is it the top part or bottom part that is the dpf? Ps where is the option for adding a picture?

To add a picture use something like photobucket.com/
I also have a broken aircon condenser! Where did you get your new one from? I have been quoted £262 to supply fit test and regass mine.
In terms of the dpf I cannot help sorry I do not know. I am sure someone will be able to help though....

Condenser is around £130 and the regas is free as it wasn't picked up when the gas was done. I fit it myself.

Autokool ltd. it was £117.00 and if you are good at taking your time to remove parts and feel confidant then yes it is easy to fit. mine arrives tomorrow. I spent all today jet washing my dpf out and refitting it. best thing is you can remove the bottom of the dpf while the top stays in place.
