  • Buying a diesel car - DPF problems 13 Jun 2013 (Forum)
    A pity about DPF diesels. Brought to the market and sold to a largely unsuspecting public - and often unfit for the purpose of general use. It seems a scandal of manufacturers using the customer to complete testing. Many Motorists are currently selling a non DPF diesel - still
