That's all been done, just had an off vehicle clean, but then they still can't resolve the issue.

The code I had before it went into the garage was P242f. Thanks for your reply.

The garage has cleaned the DPF again and is all good. Now they are checking why it is burning oil, could it be worn turbo seals?
