This is aimed at diesel owners and I am looking for some advice please.

My car has only done 14000 miles of mainly stop-start journeys. What I don't know is whether I should be trying to get the DPF regenerated. I spoke with the dealer and they said that every year or so, I should take the car on a minimum 1/2 hour drive at a constant 70 mph. This will apparently get the DPF to regenerate. I live at least 2 hours away from a motorway and then I could not guarantee being able to do a constant 70 due to it being very busy.

Could I not just drive A roads at higher engine revs to get the DPF up to temperature? I do have some reasonable A roads not too many miles away!

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Thanks All!
