once a dpf has reached a certain threshold of soot then a regen is not possible due to a possible chance of an uncontrolled burn, (too much soot/fuel contained within), this could lead to the car catching fire. The engine ecu will never allow a gegen once the dpf differential pressure exceeds 1.5v
If this the case a replacement is the only option available

Good to know lol

I turned it on this morning and took it for a run and all the lights and warning have gone

Seems the dpf cleaner may have worked, perhaps either a sticky egr or dodgy sensor?
Going take it for another run see what it does,

I personally dont think it was the dpf anyway, i know i only do urban driving it in but i fill up weekly and pretty much cane the hell out of it on thursday night friday morning to clear out the exhuast and i usually see a few plumes of smoke when doing this under hard acceleration, so reckon its fine

Id deffo remove the dpf and reprogram, I tried to tell my father in law friend who had one but he ignored me (probably because I'm relatively young and he thinks I know jack) and so he sold it.
