Took it for a run early this morning to try to recreate the issue on the same route my wife took, couldn't get it to do it, after that I put the transmission into manual mode and sat it at around 3000 rpm for half hour on the roads to blow anything left in the DPR through it, hopefully that's the last of it.......

That's what I thought TT82. I do very low mileage but when I do drive the car its a 400 to 500 mile run at just under 70mph ( honest guv ! )
A petrol car would be better for me but thats easier said than done when looking for a new Volvo/Audi/BMW large estate car !!

Sorry I've been away for two days on a 700 mile round trip drive and lost the thread plot slightly. Getting you loud and clear.
My car doesn't get used everyday and can sometimes sit for a few weeks but when I do use it it's always a good long run.

I agree with Clive you do need to turn the engine over, drive the car, every so often to keep the seals lubricated and supple especially the air-con seals which will dry up if the air-con is not used for a period of time. IIRC it is recommended that air-cons should be run weekly - that mainly applies to static air-cons but I believe applies to vehicle air-cons as well.

Nice run out to Stirling and back with the odd blast up to the national speed limit (not over honest ) ! It was one of those cool evenings when the air temperature seemed just right for the car to run perfectly.
Roads were really quiet which I spose is to be expected on a Friday night.
