Thanks Rusty Top man.
Hi BigDave2,
The point you mentioned about the exhaust sounds slightly heavier , smoke emitting from the exhaust and finding the car performance sluggish, I had this last year and I had the message Diesel Partic Filter is Full Continued Driving Mandatory and I took it for a long drive on motorway and put it on 5th gear and driving at 80mph. It cleared, but I had engine emission light and the MAF mass air flow sensor dirty and I had to replace it,as the car would not pick speed up and on the hill it would not climb even pressing the full acceleration pedal. I tried to clean the MAF sensor by spraying the electrical contact spark cleaner and it did not work.
I was looking for the DPF sensor I could not find it, so I will have to relook at it again by googling and see if there is an image.
