Cheers. sounds like mine being 25-75 is about right. somewhere in here it mentions up to 100% is normal, so 75 doesn't seem so bad now.

Not only that, page 122 recommends the driver NOT TURN THE ENGINE OFF, now that's interesting to say the least.
Yeah, as I said, it's a bit flawed. Considering a DPF replacement is big $$ it's crap they make it so hard to know what's going on and wether your driving is reducing the life of the DPF.

I don't think there's any risk trying to nudge a regen if it's just done one. It'll either do a short one or refuse.

I think also says not to run the car stationary over dry grass in case regen is in process. But again, not easy to know.
