Luton has a strong connection to the car industry because it was home to a Vauxhall Motors factory from 1905 until its closure in 2002. Vauxhall's headquarters moved to a new location in Luton in 2019, minutes from Junction 11A on the M1. Unfortunately, the town is one of the most congested in the UK, with drivers spending 29 hours each year stuck in traffic on average. In 2022, the local council pledged £5 million to fix Luton's pothole problem.

Diesel particulate filters are crucial because they capture and store exhaust soot to help reduce your car's emissions. Since 2009, all diesel cars have been required to have a DPF.

Passive regeneration is the primary way of keeping a DPF filter clean. It happens when the exhaust reaches a high temperature, typically while on a motorway. However, many cars don't reach this stage often enough, making the DPF clogged.
