DPF Replacement - Ford Kuga

Today’s adventure on the ramps…

This Ford came in because its old DPF failed the MOT — it simply stopped filtering soot and decided to retire early.

So up on the ramps it went, ready for a fresh new DPF.

Only one tiny problem: the old one was held in place by bolts so rusty they were basically part of the Earth’s crust.

But hey, that’s why battery-powered angle grinders exist! ⚡️🔧

A few sparks later and— freedom.

And honestly… I’m truly grateful no one called the police on me.

Because from a distance, me lying under the car with an angle grinder must’ve looked EXACTLY like a catalytic converter thief on his lunch break. 😅😂

“Officer, I swear, I’m the good guy!”

New DPF installed, emissions saved, MOT ready.

Just another day in the glamorous life of mobile diagnostics. 😉
