From memory, if the eighth digit of your vin no. is "B", there is no DPF fitted. John

John has it spot on.

Eighth Digit.
A = Petrol
B = Diesel
C = Diesel with DPF

This ofcourse depends on the year of vehicle.. Wink

My VIN has a 'D' for the 8th digit so i was confused... until i checked link and saw that D is for Diesel (High Power) with no DPF (E has the DPF).

Op was looking for Pre MY11 Wink
All UK Spec vehicles from MY11 would have a DPF as standard.

Look at his previous posts, he mentions in this thread the FL 2 "He was interested in" Rolling Eyes
A quick look shows he was looking at Pre MY11.
