Try and take it for a good long motorway blast first!

GVK.

Some of them have a special additive in a seperate tank to clean the DPF Ford call it the FAT (Fuel additive tank) You can buy the kit to do it but I seem to remember needing to go on IDS (to activate it) - they give a fault code specific to it when the tank is empty.

Here's the stuff, not cheap ! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Vo...8AAMXQ1ZhTiIzY

Once that is done it might be worth getting someone with IDS to do a forced regen of DPF, see how it goes.
