Auto load lugger 10 Oct 2019 (Forum)
I think we could get 7-8k for our astra and I don't really want to throw much more into the pot as this car will probably get ruined, but it'll save us a lot in skips! I'm reluctant to get a diesel because of the DPF clogging in stop/start driving, but will a 10 year old touran even have a DPF? I'd just like some ideas/alternatives if anyone can suggest anything. Many thanks! -

Snake oil that seems to work! V Power + Nitro 5 May 2017 (Forum)
I've used the odd tank of premium diesel for years but since the VW scandel I've used more of it and for the last few months nothing but V Power+Nitro diesel. Over time a couple of things have changed. Firstly my DPF is not doing any active regenerations, none in 2500 miles, this is my third DPF car so I know the symptoms. My driving has not change and most of the miles were in cold weather when its usually at its worst. -
