well drove as per hand book to clear light and it did not the coil light came on flashing and car into limp home mode, how f*cking annoying - there is no reason the filter should get blocked - I drive 70-80 miles a day and on motorway for half of it. Damn annoying, car got to be recovered to dealers this week - will see what happens!

Mine has started doing similar where it takes ages to clear. Took over 60 miles the other day! !! Phoned the dealers and they said it's likely a sensor. Apparently they keep them in stock now (it must be a common thing!) so they are going to have a look next week when it goes in for something else.

hope it is just the sensor - we will find out tomorrow at dealer's!!! Should not be anything else - drive many miles so regen should not be a problem

It was the sensor - what a pain but relieved!!!
