Spooky,

You are not alone in not noticing anything. I don't have a 2.2 but reading below I don't think you have anything to unduly worry about....

The DPF just does it's thing without any driver feedback under normal conditions.

You need to be more worried if the light does come on.

The Defender DPF is a pretty clever box of tricks that is designed to regenerate at lower speeds than normal DPFs.

I don't know if this is correct, however, I think the DPF light has 2 stages. Orange means take it for a spin to help burn or Red which means it's a trip to the dealer.

And finally, I shall resist the temptation, however tempting, to retort to your slights on my character, I suppose it was inevitable that you came into the argument (albeit a little late) but that's par for the course.

No, again you are wrong, I have stayed out of this blog despite your annoying lectures on morality.

My interest in following this thread has been strictly to source information form other members about their DPF, CAT and MoT experiences and your moralities have no bearing on any of these topics, yet you paste those moralities over us all quite thick

Other contributors to the blog have been attempting to share with us their own views of how they manage the issues pertaining MoT, DPF and CAT and with you whacking away at them incessantly the blog finally shut down - only THEN did I post my own point of view.

I am sure we would all like to hear other members' points of view now, yours is already well known, thanks for sharing them so liberally with us.

Just some thoughts and comments having just read this thread.

In order to buy a number plate for any vehicle you need to provide the V5, proof of address and also ID. So when someone sells one as a show number plate that is too small, has the incorrect lettering type or for any other reason is not legitimate and then the person that has bought it fits it to their car who is at fault Question

It’s the same for most aftermarket motorbike exhausts that say "not for road use" and then someone fitting it to their road bike - who is at fault Question

borderterrier, you seem to have taken a stance here but cannot justify why and especially when having a rant against Pete from BAS just because he added a Whistle after a comment he made. As Pete has said he has been asked as a tuner to modify a tune for a DFP off for a specific application - surely who he sells that too is up to him and the person that wants to buy it.

Also, have you asked Gary or Ian to comment on this Question I notice from posts on here that Gary specifically sells de-cats for TD5s and 2.4 TDCi to name 2, link here; http://www.alivetuning.com/alive-boutique/...uct_id=138 and Ian has a specific tune for a 2.2 TDCi that turns off the DPF and is for a de-cat car, link here; http://www.irbdevelopments.com/2.2%20Tuning.html and link here for the 2.4TDCi http://www.irbdevelopments.com/2.4%20Tuning.html

I do recall, but I can’t find the thread at this time, that Ian has specifically written a file 2.4 dedicated for a de-cat pipe and presumably the same for the 2.2 indicating this is a calibration change for road use and without a cat with the same for the 2.2 i.e. a dedicated tune for a car with no DPF, when Pete has never stated his tune is for a de-cat off or cat on as it’s up to the end user.

Finally, Pete does not and has not publically sold a de-cat exhaust for many years nor does he advertise them for sale anywhere, whereas the other 2 resident tuners specifically sell and advertise de-cat pipes both on their website and at shows – more importantly they claim a dedicated tune for a de-cat pipe and the latter for a car with DPF off.

I suggest you remove your head from up your and speak to those that in your words are “ irresponsible” and stop having a go at those that don’t currently promote such items for general use Thumbs Up
