Chuff has been unfortunate, but lets not lose sight of the that almost exactly the same DMF system is used on pretty much everything these days! and that includes as far as I'm aware, all of the VAG group of cars, and for quite a few years at that! Parts prices for ALL DMF equipped cars are horrendous.. where Chuff will come out on top here, is that he is surrounded by Vauxhall people, with exactly the correct kit, and knowledge to do the job, which is one of the reasons, he felt it wise to jump ship
The rest he can write off to experience, but please, Chuff has not made any mistake buying a Vauxhall over anything else
