My seven year old diesel Nissan Qashqai limped home last night at 20 mph (apologies to those behind me) and this morning I was told by the chap at Halfords Autocentre that it was probably the DPF (I have since looked up what this means). This evening it was confirmed that it was the DPF and they can't fix it (there were a few other errors that came up on their computer system when they ran a check). It's starting to sound expensive but I thought I'd ask here if this is something that needs replacing or could it be 'washed out' at a cheaper cost? Halfords said they would recommend a specialist close by but it looks like I'll be without the car for a while I think. I don't think the car is worth more than £3k or so (it's done 155k miles) so we shall see...
Any help/enlightenment would be appreciated - it's just a shame that at an expensive time of year, this crops up
