    What warranty - it'll be ex fleet sh:mad:t bought to impress the Joneses - because everyone LOVES a 320d in rep spec.

    The car will still have been sold with a warranty, regardless of where it had been before.
    The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark

    If it had a warranty of any credibility why did the poster not claim on it for the DPF replacement then instead of removal ;) I assume it came from an independent dealer with no real warranty to speak of.

    Oh and I imagine the not driving it over 40mph thing has caused the problems too :p

    Anyone who spends more than they can afford on a car, without a warranty...., well, there is only one answer to that. ;)
