By the logs, dpf is clogged I'd say, needs either regen, allot, cleaning out or replacing.

How do i go about doing this? The guy who plugged it in, advertised vcds turns out when i got to him he didnt know how to use vcds and was only able to do a scan what do you recommend nigel?

Find someone who knows what they're doing, who can force a regen, spirited ride for 50 miles may help, but it also may be too clogged for a regen, thus requires more heavy work.

Yea thats what iv tried to do give it a good run but car goes back into limp mode so its like catch 22 i cant clean out dpf with limp mode,i think what i need is vcds to be plugged in and take it on a motorway run and vcds person to clear it and regen whilst driving, is there anybody on here who you recommend i can take the car too or possibly come to me im based in the west midlands??

There's static regen & road regen modes, your chassis should support both, anyone competent woth vcds should.be able to do it, but of it's too clogged, it wont regen, so it needs diagnostically checking for percentages.
