That’s naughty too. 

[Bigron]

The fault lies with the manufacturers of DPFs; they need to make a device that is fit for purpose and will not clog up so readily - or at all!
Once again, the cost/blame has been passed on to the motorist.....

The DPF is a filter in the exhaust to that is supposed to be cleaned by increasing the supply of the chemicals that caused the particulates in the first place. Now, does that sound like something that an engineer would insist upon, or the idea of a politician who has no practical understanding?

From next year, you will find yourself with a very heavy fine, you naughty boy.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

The problem can be overcome with the purchase of a petrol car.

It's what God himself would want.

By the car's emissions

My guess would be a roadside check, with some hairy=arsed plod sticking a probe up the car's bum?

As there are virtually no plod on the road anymore they will find it very difficult to get a speed camera to do it 

[Sir Tigger KC]

When buying a car, how do you know if the DPF has been gutted or not? 

Not something Lord Opti needs to worry about of course, but for us mere mortals who like to get 40+ mpg.
