OP - you're an idiot.

I'm out.

Posts in other started threads would seem to back this up.

Or drive them how they should be driven.

Which is fine if they make it clear how they are to be driven.

Citreon Berlingo/Peugeot Partner 1.6 HDi 90Bhp engine upto 2009 has no dpf.

DMFs are not a problem. When they start to go, £200 - £300 gets you a nice solid flywheel kit c/w new up-rated clutch & metal (as opposed to plastic) clutch actuator arm.

Pick up an old diesel & run it on waste veg oil. Saves a fortune in fuel costs (can also use heating oil as well).

Me, my next car will be an LPG-powered vehicle. Cheap fuel, exempt from emissions tests at MOT time and exempt from congestion charges to boot.

Exemption what?

Diesels have always been the choice for doing lots of miles.

I used to own a LDV Concoy with a 3.5L normally-aspirated Rover engine in and it had been converted to LPG.

When running on petrol, it would never pass an MOT in a million years, so the tester simply changed the fuel type to LPG as the exhuast emissions are not tested on LPG powered vehicles as they are not considered to emmit harmful gases.

The 2.0 TDI's aren't actually that bad. I think people don't rate them highly because they compare it to the older 1.9 TDI's which were completely bullet proof.

Not really bullet proof at all, some do astronomical mileages but loads have boost probems with limp modes that defy simple retification, google it !

I am just interested in the ford and toyota cars mentioned above. Only interested in them because they are backed up by good reviews and reliability statistics. So do they have DPF's?

My 10 plate 2.0 d4d Verso didn`t have a DPF, later models yes

Which diesel car doesn't have a flywheel?

They do suffer from injector seals popping though. This causes the oil to sludge up and eventually clogs up all the oil ways, turbo feed pipes, sump pick up etc until the it becomes an expensive fix. Fine on low miles, wouldn't touch one with over 80k

It depends on the car. A decent SMF & clutch kit for a VAG PD130 engine and 6 speed gearbox you don't get much change from £1k for parts alone

Since the DMF is no longer absorbing engine vibrations when you switch to SMF, the vibrations are transmitted along the crankshaft and mainshaft in the gearbox and can cause premature wear on the bearings (as well as sounding like a tank when the clutch is up and it's in neutral)

I owned a brand new Audi A4 2.0 Diesel (58)

4 times the DPF filter clogged up and put the car into limp-mode. The first 3 times Audi cleaned it but on the fourth they attempted to charge me a couple of thousand as they said it was my driving style - too gentle round the city and not heating the engine up enough at higher revs

BUT - I was actually the opposite, very fast motorway cruises 60 miles a day.

I had the same reply from my dealer about a 2.7d Jaguar and turned out to be a faulty DPF sensor
