Hmm, see I've never actually had a DPF yet, just know the theory behind them so can't be of much help there tbh.
I agree that supermarket fuel is worse though, doesn't seem to make much noticeable difference in mpg or power, but I end up with a much sootier rear end on Sainsburys diesel compared with Shell diesel! Thought I was imagining it lol.
CANBUS - all electrics/ECUs in the car are linked together basically. Good for saving weight and stuff, but can lead to some really obscure problems.

I know the theory behind the dpf's, I was trying to force a regen on this which is when it died of the motorway. Regens help clean dpf's as city/traffic jams clog them
Wish I'd bought a Perv now lol

Niall - The car recently cuts out randomly and says on the display depollution fault, then either esp failure or low oil so I thought I'd force a regen on the motorway but being sat at the side of a motorway after cutting across 4 lanes with no engine didn't fill me with confidence about wanting to give it another go and stay on the motorway - hence I came back non-motorway. I was in 4th at 60mph for about 20miles as advised to force the regen.
I have just found the fuel filter and it's slightly black so went to GSF to get another and some dpf fuel additive cleaner. Fluid added to the fuel and GSF have me an oil not fuel filter lol
