Erm, yes, and DPF means what

update. OK OK, googled it! Diesel Particulate Filter? Still non the wiser... No need to explain, mines an auto.

The DPF traps the soot...under 'normal' conditions the car can burn off the soot however under other conditions (particularly lots of short journeys) the system gets too full of soot and you need to take it your local LR Chimney Sweep who will get his brushes out and give your wallet a thoroughly good clear out.

Just wondering if anyone out there has a 10MY FL2 auto and wished they had bought a manual? I've got a 2010 10 plate GS manual c18K miles which will be being sold in the winter but I may be able to keep an auto box version in the house...anyone interested in swapsies (making allowance for auto being slightly more expesive of course)
