My engine isn’t one of the problematic ones but my main dealer said to me to get rid of the DPF, EGR & delete the adblue and my van would run forever.

DPF Dilemma and the van is stranded. Any ideas?

- Start date
So do I also need to hollow the section of the dpf after the weld seam?
It's the section that has the three sensors on the pipe.

At this point is it not just easier straight piping the van?
PP Tuning make custom stainless exhausts. Have dummy cats inline etc.
I had one on my old T5. Had a nice burble note to it too. Maybe give them a call.

I know but there are old men in sheds that will pass anything. Stop being a killjoy 
The van was smoking badly because one of the injectors had two copper washers on it, meaning that combustion was wrong.
Combined with the fact that the DPF had never been cleaned in 176,000 miles led to it being clogged up badly, leading to not sustaining the start.
What a 'mare.
I still also suspect a bad/lazy map.
The DPF is being welded as we speak. Remap arranged for next week.
I'll be on the road again by this time next week *touch formica*

Ha, quite right.I know but there are old men in sheds that will pass anything. Stop being a killjoy
Its one thing to do a clean and tidy job for the MOT as to not draw attention to it.
Its quite another thing to blatantly expect the tester to pass it with a straight pipe.
I don't want to put the tester in awkward position or show him any disrespect.
If I were a tester and someone drove up with a straight pipe, I'd fail them for taking the **** alone.
Thanks, pal.
I'm not quite back on the road yet due to work commitments this week so only now I'm back to the van.
I've connected everything back up. Fairly straight forward after conquering my fear of working under the van on stands!
The issue I've got is that I'm struggling to clamp the AdBlue injector clamp (04L253725C).
Is there a correct/easy way of doing this?
Cheers.

Why do you want to reconnect it? Just a visual thing?
With no DPF (now you have removed the filter material) the andblue injector will become clogged with soot and that’s likely going to start throwing errors.
Because I don't want exhaust gasses escaping from there if it's not secured properly.
