DPF nightmare 🚗

I have a diesel car and a few months ago a warning light came on saying 'DPF inspection required'. I then got a warning that the oil pressure needs checking. It turned out that the DPF was clogged, re-generating too regularly and causing fuel to go into the oil.
I paid to get the DPF cleaned at a specialist garage, but within a few weeks both warning lights had come back on. The garage said that they would do a deeper, chemical clean of the DPF - which I paid for - only for the DPF light to come back on again within a week 😭

I do long journeys regularly and keep my fuel level high, but I'm now really unsure what to do. The garage have said that they could try to change the DPF pressure sensor but this would be over £200 and the costs are really stacking up.

I love the car other than this, its a Mazda CX5 and is the perfect size etc. We bought it from a private seller which I now know was probably a big mistake!

What would you do?

Anyone else finding first trimester quite lonely?

I'm about 10 weeks now and from the outside theres no real visible change, but the mood swings and nausea are really getting to me. Its hard to share this with people when in general you are encouraged to keep it hush hush in the first trimester. Its so much change to navigate alone

Not a newborn anymore 😭

I’ve literally cried, probably, 7 times today because my baby girl is 8 weeks next week and not considered a newborn anymore. I can’t bear how fast time goes!

How are you all feeling mamas?
