An engineer arrives at your address over in Tismans Common, clears the diesel particulate filter while it is still on the motor, performs a DPF regeneration, and you hold on to the filter you arrived with. Nobody sets off until the number is settled on the phone. The visit lasts typically around 2 hours and the clean starts from £299. The light is showing and the car is short of power — that is how we normally meet people, and what this page is about. ## DPF light on? What to do The DPF is not necessarily what is wrong, and that comes first. Cleaning is not where a visit starts. A diagnostic is — plenty of faults appear as the same warning. It matters what you do with the motor between now and the booking. - Car still driving fine on an amber light — have a go at a long even run first. It costs zero and regularly shifts the filter without assistance. - A drive will not reach it now — limp mode means that window has already gone. - A diesel smell inside, or black smoke under hard acceleration, is the point to stop arranging long drives and call. ## The motor has been showing you already Belated news, the light. The symptoms generally mount for some time before it shows: - less power, particularly climbing uphill - you see the revs stop short of where they once went - fuel use that is worse than it used to be - a stop/start that has quietly packed in - the cabin stinking of diesel, or smoke when you pull away None of that is evidence on its own. Alongside the light beside them, the filter is a fair bet. ## The explanation diesel particulate filters block around Tismans Common For a DPF, the least kind driving is the type you find around a rural village such as Tismans Common. Run through a normal week: Rudgwick Primary School and home again, Loxwood Road at a crawl before nine, a five-minute run to The Co-operative Food, a run to Billingshurst. Nothing there lasts long enough or gets hot enough to see through a regeneration. What should clear remains. Neither is a long way from Tismans Common: under 15 miles to the M23, under 25 miles to Chichester. Neither is on the way to anywhere most weeks, though, so the drive that would scour a filter never gets made. ## Why limp mode stops a DPF regeneration It is self-defence: that is all limp mode amounts to. A sustained drive works by starting a regeneration, and that is precisely what limp mode blocks: power capped, revs kept low, no regeneration possible. So the common advice to take it up the motorway is sensible advice, right until the day it is not. Once the vehicle is in limp mode you are past that point, and the filter wants a clean rather than driving. ## On-site DPF cleaning where the car stands in Tismans Common Nothing leaves the motor. That catches out people. The DPF remains fitted where it is and the work goes on around it, on a driveway, in a works car park, anywhere it can stand for a few hours. A scan comes first — running data off the ECU, soot load by percent and by mass, and a look over of the sensor readings, glow plugs and related parts, so other faults are ruled out before any of it is touched. A cleaning fluid then is injected through the entry point on that vehicle, opening out inside the filter to free soot and ash a regeneration on its own will never shift. Where the filter is severely blocked, allow for a second pass. A regeneration comes next, burning off what the clean has loosened. That is a monitored drive out of Tismans Common if you are present, or a static regeneration where the car sits, with the running data read once done. Both reports go over by email, so the figures from either end are on record. The second scan is what proves the change, clears the light and lists whatever is still showing. ## When a DPF clean is not the fix A filter choked with soot and ash is the one thing a clean fixes. It will not touch: - a pressure or temperature sensor reporting a restriction that is not there - an EGR valve stuck open - the AdBlue system going wrong - faulty glow plugs or injectors, so not one regeneration ever completes - oil passing through the filter from a worn turbo Which is why the scan comes first. Turning out to be one of them means hearing it before the work starts, not after handing over a penny. DPF renewal is what people look up, but no part is replaced: the filter you already own is treated where it sits and sent back into service. Nor is having it gutted a remedy, since the MOT then fails and driving becomes unlawful. Two more things worth noting. ## The price of DPF cleaning across Tismans Common The treatment starts from £299. A call-out charge covers every visit, and takes in the call-out itself, the booking, the diagnostic and the advice that follows. Once we have what you drive, and roughly what the filter will want, the figure gets agreed by phone. A single price for all would not be truthful. Whereabouts you are counts as much as what you run: Tismans Common itself, Rudgwick nearby, or farther out within the RH postcode area. Where the scan says a clean will not work, you are not charged for treatment. What even so stands is the call-out charge, since the visit happened, the diagnostic was carried out and the advice was given. Aftercare is covered by a 30-day warranty: should the light reappear within it, an engineer returns to Tismans Common. ## Where we reach round Tismans Common, and what we clean The filter is done in place on all of them: cars, vans of any size and light commercials, heavy goods vehicles, plant and construction machinery, agricultural vehicles. Nothing is taken anywhere. Engineers are along Loxwood Road week in week out, so Tismans Common is rarely a detour, and the same run covers Rudgwick, Alfold Bars and the spots out past Bucks Green. It is the schedule, not the distance, that picks whether it is one day or the next, and coverage runs UK-wide — so phone even from even further out through West Sussex. ## A word on Tismans Common Tismans Common is a small village in West Sussex, situated inland at an elevation of around 30 metres.

Sometimes, if you spot it early enough and the motor has not fallen into limp mode. It takes a steady run at motorway speed, not fifteen minutes or so to The Co-operative Food and back. The visit runs how long? That is typically around 2 hours, though a severely blocked filter can require cleaning twice, which runs on. Around Tismans Common, what does it run to? The call-out charge covers the visit, the scan and the advice; treatment itself begins from £299. Both the vehicle and where you are shift it, which is why pricing goes by phone. Do I have to be present? A spot for the motor to sit, for a couple of hours, is all that is required. Not you. Choosing to be there is welcome: the regeneration then runs out on the road, monitored. How soon can someone travel to Tismans Common? Depending on the diary, often same-day or next-day is typical. Phone 0303 330 1830 and we will tell you what is free across the RH area. The filter — does it come away from the motor? On the on-site service, no: the filter is done in place. Neither job — a filter off, a filter back on — is not work we do. And if the light returns? An engineer travels back out to Tismans Common — the 30-day warranty takes in aftercare. ## Setting up a DPF clean across Tismans Common Phone 0303 330 1830 and talk us through what the car is doing: the light, limp mode, smoke, whatever it is.
