    Out of curiosity- let me take a stab at it, most of the time it’s an urban/short run vehicle and the DPF just was too full to regenerate properly?

    I see Toyota now has a DPF exchange for life on their Hilux due to the ongoing issues there.
    Nope. We live in rural Victoria and it hardly ever does short runs aside from school drop of a few times a week. They do some kms in it.

    Mitsubishi Australia got into an argument with them saying the vehicle had been chipped when it never had. So over a week of that time was taken up with arguing with Mitsubishi whether it was a warranty issue.

    They also had an issue with their triton where the loom wore through or there was a broken wire in the loom while in remote WA. Mitsubishi said it would take 6-12 weeks to get a loom in from Japan as there weren't any in the country.

    After the DPF palava, my mate cracked it with them. Took two blokes over 2 days to manually find the break in the wire and repair it.

    He still likes the car but that sure left him with a sour taste. Particularly the attitude of Mitsubishi Australia.

    All OEM’s are the same - all arseholes - it’s part of owning a new car in Australia. We need some stronger anti lemon laws here.

    AFAIK the Triton and Isuzu DPF's are the most reliable.

    DL
    I'm new to this DPF business, so I have to defer to the Manual. Isuzu call theirs a Diesel Particulate Defuser.[ DPD] " removes particulate matter from diesel exhaust gases. The DPD automatically regenerates when a certain amount of PM accumulates." "If conditions are such automatic regeneration may not be completed, operator regeneration should be carried out when the DPD operator regeneration light flashes. "

    Operator regeneration procedure;

    Drive at a constant speed of more than 50 KPH

    When vehicle speed, engine coolant temperatures and other factors [?] are met, The DPD operator regeneration engine light switches from flashing to continuous illumination and DPD regeneration begins.

    Drive at a constant speed as possible,[ over 50 KPH] operator regeneration of DPD is complete once the DPD light goes off.

    I'm thinking anyone who can understand the TD5 coolant set up, should be able to handle that.
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    They need it to sell very well.

    We have a few vehicles here that have DPF's,some over 5 yrs old.

    They get driven normally,and we have never had to press a regen button or have had an issue.

    Just drive it normally,and all will be good.

    Coming up to 50,000klm in my GLSP MR Triton. I really like the vehicle. It has been excellent. It is very confidence inspiring to drive in awful weather. I run it in AWD constantly. I wouldn't trade it for the new Ranger or anything else as a straight swap (I would consider an Isuzu if mine was totalled if they got serious and offered heated seats Disco 1 days are numbered - which dual cab ute? but would very likely go MR again). Cheers
