DMF's aren't all that bad nowadays tbh, they stop you ruining gearboxes and usually last as long as the clutch anyway. Have to realise VNT turbos and other modern tech means gearboxes have to put up with a lot more abuse than on something like a 306 HDi. Of course there will always be exceptions and a few explode early.
But DPFs are purely there to ruin the car... Honestly they don't even do the job they're supposed to! Just make you pay more for the car, more for the part WHEN (not if) it needs changing, more for the turbo when it inevitably breaks due to the DPF causing backpressure, more for the Eolys if necessary and above all more in fuel!! If they spent more on getting MPG up rather than just shoving a filter in the get the soot down everyone would be better off...
Maybe if Farage gets in we won't have to bother with EU regs any more....
