The oil report is in. I am not sure what to make of it just yet but this was for 10,000 miles.

Not so good if max iron is 100 ppm and you have 160 ?

It nearly overheated today but I caught it in time. Same scenario as before except this time I have a working heater.

Motorway at 80 on cruise. I came off and did a U turn to go back the way I came. Gave it the gun through the revs and then set cruise. 1 minute later the cruise switched off uncommanded and the temp gauge is at 3/4. I put the heater on max and the gauge returned to half as normal.

I cannot think what is going wrong but it's bloody annoying.

Well, it didn't take long! The classic warning message. I guess now is the time to source a GAP tool.

I had that message before on mine when the DPF was blocked.

Used my diagnostic tool to do a manual forced regen getting the spot content down to about 1gram after charging up and down a motorway for 20 minutes.

Have you any water leaks in under the intake donut where the oil cooler and EGR is situated? There's a water pipe that runs of a T from the top radiator pipe into the middle of the donut and underneath that you can trace along.

Ok thanks, good to know. I will be removing the doughnut once I have one of my other cars back on the road.

Make sure your battery is tip top.

Mine refused to re-gen due to a low battery voltage.
