I am always on the motorway daily (doing 1,000 miles a week and never saw this happen on its own) so I just did what I mentioned in my previous post. Upon doing that, the mpg went back up accordingl to the onboard computer, car felt fractionally perkier and smoother.

Apologies, but diesel is a completely inappropriate fuel for a car.
Lorries - where you need massive torque, then yes, but a car? Nah. Sold to us by governments as the fuel of the future, 10 years later, it's the worst thing since coal. Helped along the way by the VW scandal. You'd be better off with a T2/T3 if you only do short trips. Cheers

If you can switch to l/100kms then you will see it go from 0.0l/100kms to 1.2-1.8l/100kms when regenerating. You may also notice a raised idle speed.

That's why I have a 4.0 petrol with LPG. Half price fuel, and cleaner than diesel AND petrol.

If you're so concerned about the environment, you wouldn't burn any fossil fuel for your own convenience and pleasure so let's be realistic about your green credentials.
