Don’t mention diesels and DPF’s! 
 

had a faulty headlamp, and a faulty vaporiser, (part of the DPF system) to sort out for this years Ranger MoT. 
 

Just shy of £1200, all in. The bulk of it being changing the vaporiser  (a kind of combined fuel injector and glo-plug, used during DPF a cleaning cycles, to heat everything up over 6/700 degrees C). And then having changed it, to get the DPF to actually do a regen and clean up enough to turn off the dash warning lights. Five days of manually run cleaning cycles it took to clean the damn filter. Heaven only knows what the final cost would have been if it had needed a new DPF to.

Try a DAF LF55 lorry with a DPF.  The exhaust has to reach a high temp for the DPF to burn off particulates, which it doesn’t do if it works exclusively in built-up areas like London.  If you ignore the warning light on the dash that implores you to pull over for an hour and cycle the filter, it clogs solid and cannot be saved.  New one? That will be £9k please. 😬
