i would go to a few garages and main dealers and see what they have and leave details for them to contact you as and when they get one in.

Because i have been told that at the moment you can get away with cutting open the dpf smashing out the middle re welding it as it is only a visual check but the rules will change so if i find a blocked one i dont have to wreck my one if the rules do change in which case a dpf will cost me a fortune were as a scrap one or blocked would not be worth much i would not of thought just scrap value so if it did change i had my perfectly fine one to put back on

As i say method in my madness

there is a problem i can see, the dpf sensor. it measures the pressure before and after the dpf,so it will know what you have done and put the light on.

I suppose but there are worse things going on in the world than me taking the dpf out and mapping it out but i see your concern
