Just watch out for the Diesel Particle Filter on this engine as my friend had a lot of trouble with his vrs and also watch out for the injectors as there was a recall for these during the summer

Yup, conscious over the DPF, I don't do long drives so much at the moment.

However, the injectors & majority of DPF issues (so far) have been on the PD engines, rather than the most recent CR's - touch wood!

As far as I know there are no threads on SCN about a DPF or injector problem with a 170 CR.

Had a small off cut of matt black vinyl left over from the MX5 - so I did one side of the lower front grill - it looks perfect, so I'll order up some more (and a new scalpel) and get some of this done over xmas.

Wheel repaint quoted also, so I'll look at that once the bad weather has gone (and I won't kerb anything!)

Also unpacked my spare grill, so I'll get that rubbed down tomorrow

Done a few miles this week, and currently in the midlands visiting.

However, cruising at motorway speeds three up to forest of dean, then up here has seen an averaged 58.6mpg, and a range of 800 miles from the tank
