I would change the car or remove the DPF personally.
You need one of these, I do 8 mile each way to work, it's amazing ?

 Interested in the just 12 months aspect ( not being nosey honest )

If just for 12 months then get a small cheap petrol car and flog it afterwards or use the wife's car perhaps ???

Geoff we have a 2 year contract close to home, after spending about the last 15 years travelling up and down the m62 it does make a change,but I have had loads of diesels no problem really but they probly never had this dpf thingy, every Thursday though we do the weekly supermarket trip so I give it a bit of stick, and when parked up fast idle it for 15mins that's the best ican do at the minute, my local royal mail fleet are all berlingos, don't think they travel more than a mile before they stop then another short journey, god help anybody who ends up buying them, cheers paddy.

I really can't see a problem here, drive car to work & back & once a fortnight take it down a dual carriageway for 10miles at 60mph. How hard is that? Mine just does short rural runs near home & get a run out about once a month if that, no trouble from dpf ever. Fact is loads of drivers use diesels for mostly local & the occasional run out without probs.

Likely to be a set pressure differential measured across the filter.

I think one is creating non existent problems here. I don't know anybody who has had dpf light on doing mostly short journeys. You don't usually hear of problems with Cits. I thought that was the idea of the bag of Eloys? I think to have problems one would have to drive in town & never go faster than 30mph.

A sensor will take the pressure before and after the filter and when the difference gets too great it will trigger the regeneration cycle. Think of it like an air filter that gets blocked over time but rather than changing it you clean it out by regeneration process. Ok ?

I dare say there may be systems that use the injection system " history " to determine the service interval.
