My 2007 manual is the same. I think it's just another example of a badly written manual (see also the sections on cruise control and headlamp masking!) |

DPF is a really difficult issue. Mazda had real problems before the new '6' in that the oil levels could rise resuting in premature engine failure. My mates Pug 4007 which is the same power train as FL2 had a series of 'DPF Full' warnings and despite repeated visits to his dealer. it keeps happening. He now resorts to a blast in a low gear up the nearest fast road to clear it out. Defeats the object surley.

Hope you find a vehicle that dos'nt tell you when you need to fill up as well Honestly though, most educated people can read and understand very simple insructions, especially when it concerns a rather expensive purchase 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

I normally drive quite long motorway distances and everything is ok. But as soon as i spend a couple of days doing very little milage I get the "DPF Full, consult dealer message". The dealer doesnt want to know tells me to take it for a good run. Surely you would not expect to have to go on a long run every third day just to keep your car running. |

I have had the "DPF FULL Visit Dealer" several times this year and twice sorted out by the dealer. However the last time happened it was accompanied with the engine running in limp mode, which was a pain being on a motorway with steep hills. This last time I did the cleaning process myself as prescribed in the book, turned off the motor and after restarting all was fine and has been since. Should mention that I also mostly do long runs. My dealer has taken this quite seriously and will be giving the system a full check at the beginning of September when he has a new particle filter and sensor in stock (apparently they are in short supply). The whole system is to be changed if necessary. 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

I'm writing an essay about Diesel Particulate Filters and came by your very interesting PDF. Now I need a reference to the original source and wonder if you could name it for me? |

DPF is another example of "political engineering" to appease vested interest pressure groups and beloved by bureacrats. Adds considerably to whole of life motoring costs with increased maintenance requirement and more frequent trips to the dealer to fix it.

I've had dpf full once after leaving it at the garage for an mot ( think they left it running ) , but it cleared on a motorway run soon after. I do a lot of short trips and haven't had any message from my normal driving. |

Excellent, thanks. Apparently it's the 8th digit in the VIN that denotes whether you have one. A "B" means not. A "C" means with DPF. Mines a "B". |
