you dont have to drive at +2500 rpm, a steady 50mph for around 15 minutes will clear the dpf....maybe your excessive 'rpm' is causing the problem..... ... - .- -.

As I have the technical knowledge of a gerbil, I'm simply following what it says to do in the manual.

It could be a faulty sensor giving “false alarms” ??

When, some years back, Lookers took over 4 weeks to source a plug lead for my Omega, my wife fielded the call from their Head of Parts. My complaint that I'd been walking past said lead in Halfords since they'd had the car had been raised at a management meeting.
