Question
Hi,

I have a new message appearing in the screen behind the steering wheel.  "DPF full" see manual.  What does this mean?
There is nothing in the manual.
the car is a Discovery 3 Landrover made in 2009

thanks for your help

Answer
Michael,

If you're cursed with a DPF, the exact procedure to follow after DPF FULL (diesel particulate filter) should be outlined in the back of the manual...

Quote:
When the DPF becomes full the driver will be alerted to this condition by a message 'DPF FULL' accompanied by a handbook symbol. As detailed in the Owners Handbook, the driver should drive the vehicle until the engine is at its normal operating temperature and then drive for a further 20 minutes minimum, at speeds of not less than 30 mph (48 km/h). Successful regeneration of the DPF is indicated to the driver by the 'DPF FULL' message no longer being displayed.

DPF equiped vehicles do not like small trips.
