How many passengers did you have to back for LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.

Re: Blocked DPF

Had a customers car in with Restricted Performance, and a DPF Pressure Differential fault
Took it out on the road, and attempted a Regen, to clear it all out. Failed a few times, so turned round to head home. On the way back, it lost all power, and cut out. Would restart every time, and run for 3-4 seconds, and cut out, making some horrible noises
Released the clamp for the DPF to see if the engine would run with the exhaust disconnected, of which it did just fine
So, DPF was removed and checked...
IT should look like this:

In actual fact, it looked like this:

Found a faulty MAF sensor, hence why it was not regenerating and burning the carp out.
Priced up a new DPF. Knew it wouldnt be cheap but I wasn't quite prepared for the £2,100 retail price
So, good 2 hours were spent washing it out with a pressure washer, and had it mostly clean. Car now starts and runs, and a new MAF on order to allow it to regenerate on its own
Hi Disco Mikey,
I have exactly the same problem but a bit more dramatic, it blew the air box off the front of the inlet manifold, the DPF is completely blocked but will run if you disconnect the DPF. I'm in the process of either replacing the DPF or if I can unblock it, clean it out.
Can i ask please, how did you trigger a DPF regen ?
Best regards
Simon.

strange thing was, the car never complained about the DPF being nearly full or full, but with the pressure hoses disconnected my cheap VeePEAK scanner shows an issue with the DPF pressures so the sensor must be working, just no warning on the dash.
