Well, they said their diags points out to particle filter overload, which is a serviceable part normally replaced at 54k miles (I got 60k now) - £475 all inc, but it does not have to be done now as one can wait until warning light comes up frequently or all the time.

So that's £475 extra for the joys of running a noisy, low revving diesel.
That's 100 gallons of petrol or 3500 miles of free motoring in an average petrol car.Comment

A particle filter is like a catalytic converter. No matter what car you have (petrol or Diesel) these need to be replaced around 40k miles. It is not a legal requirement on Diesels and you may get away by fitting a standard exhaust. Ask a specialist. You may even get one for under £200.HEALTH WARNING. IT Can Damage your Health.

I am pretty sure it will fail emissions test for MOT, which aint due for 9 months though - right now I am satisfied that I dont have to replace it immediately as warning light comes on from time to time - not every journey and it goes off after few mins on driving, perhaps its crap diesel I had last time? Using same place by BP all the time. Gotto give it some time before worrying too much - I drive less than 500 miles per month these days.Comment
