Re: Interior leds
Take your time popping the fittings out is the best advice I can offer. Done mine in about two hours. The only ones my kit wouldn't fit was the two rear map lights

Re: Increased battery discharge
I got told by a mechanic there is a much smaller battery that runs the computer side of the car. This was also clarified when I priced up new battery for mine at GSF car parts

Re: Towbar install
You tube is your friend. I found a descriptive video of bumper removal on there. With the westfalia tow bar do you refit the bumper iron. With my witter I had to leave it off

Re: Particle filter terraclean
All sorted now. First code read showed faulty glow plugs so I changed all six. On the next read it showed all clear and that the dpf had not regenerated in 8000 miles so the counter was reset. A regen style drive and now all clear with no more faults. Thank you all for your input and advice. Kind ...

Re: Particle filter terraclean
After numerous attempts at getting the car to regenerate and half a tank of fuel later I have had no success. Three people have suggested getting it terracleaned. Has anyone done this or does it have side effects. Any help and replies are gratefully received

Re: Particle filter
Tried the 20 minute run last night. On start up no faults and then 20 minutes in to it the message reappeared. Is this a main dealer trip or can it be done with a snap on diagnosis machine. Thanks for your reply

Particle filter terraclean
10 plate 3.0d xdrive particle filter warning has just come up on dash. Does this mean a trip to the main dealer. A friend has said it might be the dpf regenerating. Can anyone throw some light at it for me please
