Jones workshop in Manchester sorted out my improperly installed hardware for a 13 pin socket and then coded. It has worked perfectly for the last four years. Good to see that they are still doing a grand job. The best advice I can give is to fit a 7pin socket - not 13 !! -

The caps are kept fixed by a large circular clip inside which on mine needed to be eased off using a small screwdriver before pushing cap out.

The same DPF story told 20 times is not 20 DPF failures. Being honest with yourself about your actual useage is the key. If in doubt get petrol.

Before getting winter tyres I purchasd a pair of sno socks. Take them with the van for grass/mud but have not had to use them yet.
