    Yup - sorry. Should have clarified all of it with "If you get caught" in the first place. For me I just go to worst case scenario and consider if I have my first accident that is my fault and put a kid in a wheelchair. At the moment, my insurance pays for that kid to have something more of a life. IF I got caught out with an illegal vehicle, then firstly my family would be forced into bankruptcy but there'd be a kid out there without the money needed for his/ her support.

    I know that sounds pretty grim (I'm usually pretty upbeat!) but for me that one in a thousand chance is enough to keep it legal. And I hate this DPF almost as much as anyone on here (onto my second, which is failing).

      Do you do lots of short drives? I can't understand as to why the dpf would be having so many issues for you.

        Nope, 45,000km's in 12 months (if that was at me). Plenty of 80 - 110km/h drives. When it goes in I am going to ask (and will happily pay) them to have a look at what feeds into the DPF. It's been replaced - it should be good to go. It has a catch-can, but so do a lot of others. Regardless, I'll be asking for that to be taken off in the short term just in case. Other than that, the engine/ drive train is absolute stock. I am hoping it's just one item/ thing that isn't quite right that is yet to be found (e.g., a dent/ split or bend that is not meant to be there in the pre-DPF part of the exhaust, a loose nut that's fallen in somewhere, a 5th Injector that appeared good but really isn't... ). It'll come good. I hope it does - as the rest of the car is either better than what I wanted or even better than that.

          Will be interesting to hear what the dealer says and/or finds, as a search reveals that a lot of DPF troubles and not just Toyota vehicles are caused by other parts of the engine rather than the DPF itself.

            Has anyone heard if Hiluxs are having the same problems?

                Any idea of the actual statistics for number of 2.8s sold vs ones with dpf issues?

                    I'm waiting on a hi-flow DPF to be manufactured in Aus for the Prado then I'm jumping over into that camp
