Nissan is one of the most popular car makers in the world, but few people know it also used to make spacecraft engines. The Lambda 4S-5, an experimental carrier rocket, was developed by Nissan; in 1970, it launched Japan's first satellite into space. Over the years, the brand has bolstered its success by entering a strategic alliance with Renault, a French manufacturer, and Mitsubishi, also based in Japan. The fastest car by Nissan is the GT-R, which can do 0-60 in less than three seconds - a genuinely eye-watering speed.

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.

When do I need a professional DPF clean? This is a common question. When the filter gets clogged up with soot, a warning light will usually appear on your dashboard, indicating you need to arrange a DPF filter cleaning or replacement.
