Well today I took it to my mates workshop to give it a once over.
We plugged it into a diagnostics

A few faults got deleted and didn't come back.
The last dpf regen failed and i think it's due to the fact the egr cooler thermostat was knackered so the car never got to Full temp.
I've fitted a new egr stat and the car gets hotter quicker and up to full temp now (saw 90* on my 5 min journey home)
I've now got tv in motion,
There's a few software updates available so it's going back for them next week.

I did a throttle reset which has made a big difference.
With the throttle and gearbox reset it's now a lot smoother and faster.

I'm going to gatwick tomorrow so hopefully it will regen the dpf and learn my driving style.

I will report back once it's home and hopefully running better with better mpg lol.

I may also throw some dpf/egr/injector cleaner into the tank too.

I couldn't find anything mechanically that needs doing. All the fluids are new as it's just had a service so all I gotta do is clean and drive it lol.



Anyone else got any suggestions of things to do?
