Despite this, and sensors being replaced since, my car will not self regenerate. I have had the AA out several times to auto regenerate my DPF. There are no error...

Re: Automatic gear downshifting failure at high speed

Well it's a CVT gearbox so doesn't actually have gears. The software creates virtual gears.

Re: 1.2 DIG-T - Oil loss

Re: 1.2 DIG-T - Oil loss

It's crucial to maintain a warranty that will cover it.

Oil levels should really be checked weekly - monthly at the extreme. Leaving it entirely to the dealer is a recipe for disaster.
