and he recons that a 75000 mile service will cost

[JumboBeef]

I have a friend with a newish Merc.  He cracked a headlight, and it cost over

[lurch_917]

my dads got a volvo allwheel drive and was getting charged

[ChrisV8]

Ask anyone with a D3 or L322 RR etc who go to a main stealer, bet the bills are way over that miniscule amount  :lol: :lol:

The particulate filter is just a a cat but on a diesel isn't it?

its actually a cabin filter used to be called a pollen filter

[Thrasher]

I think someone has been smoking their socks. I have to have my RR serviced around every 16000 miles. It is CHEAPER to run than my old V8 Disco (6000 mile services). All the filters/oils are changed - and unless I've had to have brakes/tyres I have never ever exceeded

[Disco-Ron]

The diesel particulate filter is in the exhaust, it basically cleans up the emmisions, look up dpf........ its nothing to do with cabin filters...... they are cheap as chips!!

[Xtremeteam]

if the dpf is starting to choke up it needs a good thrashing

[HiQ Lee]

its the owners of bugatti veyrons that need to cry at

[Range Rover Blues]

My last boss had a Meriva and it cost over

[Disco Matt]

Problem is, the average owner doesn't know any better. As far as they're concerned the car doesn't work and they've been told it'll cost

[kevinf]

just a few facts about dpf

firstly if the vehicle isn't normally driven hard enough to burn off the soot the engine management should do it automatically if conditions allow or it can be done via the dealer plug in diagnostic kit

secondly the ash residue produce by the engine doing what its ment to do is collected in the particulate filter and stays there up until the point it reaches a pre determined weight/volume dependent on how its measured then the DPF should be changed

thirdly this is normally checked at a specific service and then at regular intervals after that

obviously each manufacturer will have its own version of events and specifications etc

sorry i cant give you specific ford info(this is merc commercial info)

[lambert]

slightly off topic but does anyone know of a hand held multi brand diagnostic tool like the hawkeye but for an 04 c class an 03 td5 disco and an 04 soon to be 61 jimny all of which have a lot of computers and the dealer service bills would be painfull.
