Hi All,Purchased a 2008 Active 1.4 HDI in May last year for my wife for round town and two to three regular 2hr trips a week for her work. Nowwife'sjob has been moved to 8 miles away (no distance for my job as well) and no long trips are requiredany more. I am concerned about the usage of the vehicle. Can you give me an idea what is required to keep the DP filter healthy ie. time, distance and speed. The 8 miles to work is not stop/start through a busy town, it is country roads and can be dual carriageway/motorway but only 10mins at top speed. We get out for a long trip but that can be only once of twice a month......depends??? Otherwise I am seriously looking at swapping it for the petrol version (9000miles on the clock at the moment), be a bit of a shame as I like thevehiclea lot. Naturally I could be losing some money here on the exchange or am I just panicking a bit too much. Have been doing a bit of research on the subject but wondered if anyone has any solid info, though will probably contact my local dealer at Leicester for advice. Any comments would be helpful and appreciated. Thks/rgds.
