was very happy when I realised I hadn't got one.

It's one of the reasons I didn't go for a 1.9 CDTi Twintop

The words diesel & convertible should NEVER be put together, who wants to buy a convertible car and hear the engine clanking & tapping away when ever they're trying to enjoy a nice open top drive!? I would only ever buy a petrol convertible, hence my previous convertibles:

1976 Triumph Spitfire 1500
2007 Astra Twintop 1.8
2007 Astra Twintop 2.0 Turbo

My ex has a 2009 Astra 1.9 CDTi twintop and it was ace, was no worse than listening to my own car with the window down

Each to their own mate, but all diesel convertibles should be banned

How can i find out if my car has a DPF? It is a 2008 Vectra 1.9 cdti exclusive? I have tried searching but not been able to find out if it has one or not. Using OPCom there is no mention of being able to do a DPF regeneration so am i right in thinking that the car probably do not have a DPF?
