My question is:

Hi, would anyone know if the 2020 version of the Toyota Proace has any issues with the DPF. Am I correct in thinking these vehicles share the DPF with Citroen, Vauxhall, and Peugeot, and the 2020 version would contain an upgraded DPF to earlier vrsions ?? Anything I should be worried about concerning DPF's (or anything else for that matter) on tis 2020 Proace ??

Reading all these contributions I will be advising my son to hang onto his Euro 4 Transit and throw loads of money at it getting it repaired.
He has recently bought a Vauxhall Astravan with the Isuzu engine dating back to 05 , for short runs and the fuel consumption is amazing, and both vans don’t have DPFs
Hey guys, this is my first post. hopefully when the lockdown ends and we can visit showrooms and have test drives again, I will be in the market for a sports car and have a budget of £80k, there are a few ideas in mind like Mercedes C63s, maybe E63s, M5 Comp, Panamera. does anyone own any of these cars that can offer their views/opinions please, very much appreciated. ??

Would have to be the best 911 I could afford for the money, actually an older one bought carefully might not lose you any money. Best of luck, a lovely dilemma!
Interested in buying a Nissan Qashqai 1.3 140 but not able to find if it has a belt or chain opinion varies on several websites. If it has a belt what is change interval. Thanks Read more
It seems to be a chain. Also used by Renault and Mercedes-Benz.

So I noticed when I take the oil cap off when the engine is running, there's disturbing amount of smoke or steam coming out of the oil filler hole.
I know it's engine blow-by and it's expected of a 140K miles car, but is this amount considered normal? Is it time to say goodbye to the car?... Read more
I have experience of worn petrol engines which would throw out oil drops (not mist) when you removed the oil cap !
The camshaft or tappets will do that. Remember when Vauxhalls required tappet adjustment on a hot engine with it running? Oil everywhere and ruined feeler gauges, although you could buy gauges by the foot.
Hi all,
When ever I've bought a new car I've always gone by the engine size and horse power. The cars I've had have been all 4 cylinder and between 1.4 to 2.0 litre engines, plus plenty of horse power.... Read more
All in jest:) I'm perfectly happy to give you the point. I'm still not having one.
I would say, "oh well, there's no accounting for taste", but you do have an MX5 1.5.......... ...
hi guys. my 2014 astra 1.7 diesel (50k miles) has slight rough idle. between 600-1000 revs. goes up and down. i find it irritating.
is there anything i need to clean or replace? car has always been serviced so wont be oil and air filter. Read more
I'd start by looking at the air intake. Check to see of there's a build up of thick carbon deposits inside the inlet manifold, and that the EGR valve is not stuck partially open. Check to see if it's clean and can move freely from fully open to fully closed. If the inlet manifold is clogged up then the best way to resolve it is to remove it, and after first removing the worst soak it overnight in a bucket of a 50/50 mix of water and traffic film remover. A filthy job, but your engine will run a lot smoother with a clean air intake.

No idea, I can't see any word or sequence of letters in the database that would cause it to object to poor old Dorchester.
It is a temperamental and at times annoying feature....
