No worries at all, know it’s not to everyone’s taste to do what I’ve done but not forking out another £1600 for a new turbo when it would go again. I will risk it.
Is safe delete DPF and Adblue?

That's interesting
One other option is to get the DPF professionally cleaned. There are loads of companies out there offering this service. My independent says around 70% of his emission related work is blocked DPFs
You can go down that route, but will just keep happening and more expense. It’s an absolute garbage design, most of time it doesn’t get hot enough to burn away the crap and deposit it. Mine was solid inside and no saving it.
So options are, buy a new DPF for the exact same to happen or delete it.

Touch wood mine has not had any issues so far, but a friend had a blocked DPF cleaned around a year ago and he says he has not had a problem since. So I suppose you have to balance the cleaning cost against other option. I agree the whole thing with DPFs is a ticking time bomb.
Yes. I currently have the EGR & ad blue mapped out with a working (for now) DPF
I've had EGR (internals), adblue, dpf delete with no emission or smoke issues at MOT test…. runs superb
I am pretty sure you can’t just blank the EGR off and leave the DPF in place.
Thanks for the replies.
Point taken on the recommendations.
My gut feel on the requirement of the DPF regeneration process was that the EGR would be closed to allow increased temperatures for the regen and the ECU would look for a functioning EGR before starting the regen process.
I'm searching through the SSP manuals to try and find out.

The following excerpt is from the SSP330
"The diesel particulate filter system with additive - Design and Function"
page 18;
Engine management during regeneration
From the flow resistance of the filter, the engine control unit can detect the level of carbon deposit in the filter.
A high flow resistance indicates that the filter is in danger of becoming blocked. The engine control unit initiates
regeneration. To do this:
● exhaust gas recirculation is switched off to raise the combustion temperature,
