Spoke too soon!!
Mrs B rang me while out and about yesterday to say there's a warning light on the dash. It's accompanied by a message 'P filter fluid low'. Quick bit of reading suggests this is a need of maintenance rather than something that's failed; seems it needs a top up of the EOLYS fluid that acts as a catalyst for the particulate filter. Apparently it adds a few ml of the stuff to the diesel tank every time it's refilled. Usually lasts 80-90k depending on number of refuels. We very rarely do a 'splash and dash' unless we're either topping up for a long journey or (eg last Sunday) need a few litres at M/way services to get us home.
Could be a bit costly (c£200 fitted) but in reality it's fractions of a penny per mile.
