If you do decide to get this DPF removed, be aware that, because the MOT requires all vehicles with factory-fitted DPF's to comply with the newest test procedures, the tester will automatically give you a FAIL if the DPF is deemed to be obviously absent from the manufacturers published specification. I have heard and read here on the forum, posts from other members suggesting, amongst other things, that the best course of action for such low mileage cars, when the system is obviously not working, is to just take the DPF innards out, whilst leaving the base container unit still in situ with connections that are blanked off, still set in place. You have to also use OpCom or Tech2 to reprogramme the ECU to DPF 'Not Present' mode, so it doesn't go back to its old ways and try to do a regeneration of an empty can...! Cheers.. Robin
