thanks for the input all, it has been very useful. I'm getting the thermostats replaced tomorrow. The garage have advised me they will put the car's computer in "forced regeneration" mode and then I should take the car for a 30 min to 1 hour drive at a steady 70mph and this will hopefully initiate the regen process. Does this sound right?
Secondly, how does the regen process work, my understanding is that you once the error codes are cleared, the computer will allow the regen process to be started, is this correct?
Reason for asking is that I am due to collect the car tomorrow afternoon around 6pm and the roads will be quite busy at that time so it is unlikely I will be able to maintain the speeds required for the regen process to initiate. I was thinking of taking the car home first and taking the car for its 1hr drive when the roads are quieter. Will doing this switch the "forced regen" mode off?
