For all those suggesting an EGR valve and dpf delete, our mot inspector told me they now have to plug their system into the OBD2 port to read engine oil temps and emissions.
 That OBD report from the vehicle is included with the report that goes to the dvla. That report includes the  vehicle's  chassis number read from the  ecu and of course, the chassis number has to match the vehicle's registration number which is checked at the start of the mot. They will be able to immediately identify if the  EGR and dpf components are missing. These more stringent mot test became into force this past October.
These tests also require a photo of the vehicle to be taken showing the vehicle's number plate with the test in progress.

Our next door neighbour's son had his dpf and EGR deleted on his BMW. It's going to be very interesting how his car is going to pass with the garage that had them removed.

The guy who took the readings wrote everything down one of them reads "soot content high" but couldn't spend any more time with it as I went in because I was working next to the place and he broke off to plug it in and test it but couldn't do much else for me for the next 2.5 weeks as was mown out.
Went to auto electrician I've used before and from the readings I showed him he thought it was, for some reason, not regenerating so was going to try a regeneration I think he called it........he also mentioned replacement or removal.....I'll know more Wednesday when I take it in......removal without replacement isn't happening.........no warning lights are showing either.......I only do about 3500 miles a year and actually have to go for a run out on motorway to try keep it clear..............funnily enough did a 5 mile round trip today and no problem.

The garage can do what they call a forced regen they can do this several times but if the DPF is choked up it will need removing and cleaning or replacing

Sounds like a turbo problem to me.

Just use the pond hose it comes in a variety of sizes 50mm is good it’s only plastic with wire reinforcement but relatively cheap and will do what you want very well regardless of temperature

I use 1 inch hose internal diameter similar to reel hose just bigger from garage to van about 30 ft and a clarke transfer pump so 10-15 mins to fill a 600L tank.
