Ah, gotcha! The few times I've noticed something I can only assume it was regeneration because of the increase in fuel consumption that I couldn't pin on anything else! I was on a motorway each time doing around 70 and didn't notice anything else, e.g. sluggishness or noise.

I could be totally wrong of course but I assumed that the additional injected diesel would have a direct hit on the instantaneous consumption, so this would be a fairly reliable indicator that regeneration was taking place.
