This was his predecessor - the great Zac - sadly he died just before his 4 th birthday in the midst of Covid

I think its fine Dave
having looked at the way passive regen works it burns out any soot from the filter when it reaches a certain temp after a certain mileage .You get a slight hot smell from the engine but its not using extra fuel like a forced regen does (which our tractors do) It seems a little and often policy is probably a better option. This only works if you get it hot enough so people who do lots of little runs or city drivers probably wont see it so much.

Thanks very much Jimbo I spoke to a sales guy yesterday and he was using a 2024 Hilux same engine that was the same as you say a little and often method makes sense
Any info on the tow bar electrics would be much appreceated please.

My lab has Drakeshead in her from a few gens back but you can see the look. A great dog who picks up tirelessly and also is a calm family pet.

100wat

The power outlet is really handy for charging things bigger than phones and running an electric coolbox. For my last car, I built a great flood / work lamp with a cheap LED security lamp and glazier’s double suction cup. Thin cable goes through the rear window hatch which closes on it, the suction cups hold it to the roof and you get daylight behind the car.
The socket is the European style plug so I keep an adapter in the car but I’m sure this could be changed to the UK socket.

FT - That must have been tough, he looked a lovely one too. Our previous one was run-over at just 2.5 years old and I thought the family would never recover so I know how you felt.
