Gotcha,, sorry.. thought it was near the dpf itself.. I've seen them doing it underneath but maybe via a sensor port

Low pressure EGR 'could' draw fluid or vapour up from the exhaust as the pickup point is after the DPF, the throttle butterfly is closed to encourage use of exhaust gases. Both EGR's are closed during DPF regen so unless they didn't put it into a forced regen before the test drive, theoretically, some liquid or vapour 'could' be drawn into the engine.
If this is a 'real' situation, I'd suggest the OP contacts their insurer.

I’ve already paid for the DPF cleaning guy and then the new DPF and CAT. I was presuming that would be the end of it and that I would have my car back. Think it’s going to be a long and hard road to prove who’s done what wrong. I’m meeting the garage owner tomorrow to see what they say.

All the time, costing you Sh1t loads of money.
I hate modern technology, I wouldn't have a vehicle with ad blue.
Hi, to be honest I’ve had it 6 years since new and apart from brake pads and tyres I’ve been lucky. People kept saying once it was out of warranty sell it but I do feel this issue is caused by poor mechanics and poor DPF cleaning technique. Either way no one’s owning up to it

You have finally been bitten by modern technology and possibly a dodgy operator.Hi, to be honest I’ve had it 6 years since new and apart from brake pads and tyres I’ve been lucky.

This is where the wallet, probably starts taking a hammering.
Sorry to read this and hope you can get it sorted, without to much pain.
Really sounds like you should be getting legal advice though.
Good luck with it
It came up on the dashboard saying exhaust filter full. I phoned the DPF guy and he suggested cleaning it through…. Little did I know it would all end so badly
The reason I asked is a friend of mine had a similar warning on his vehicle, but after diagnostics it turned out to be the adblue sensor at fault.
I’m wondering if the mechanic who came out to clean dpf actually did any diagnostics or went straight to pumping crap into the car.

He did plug in his tablet but he just started with the DPF clean. I’ve now arranged for the car to go to the Land Rover main dealer on Thursday as I need them to see what the cause was. I’m hoping the DPF guy has good insurance!

Good luck
The car got taken to Land Rover main dealer yesterday. I’m hoping they can shed some light on what was the cause. I will definitely update on here.
