The 50 point pre-delivery inspection ensures the vehicle is to a standard that would pass an MOT

This is a filter designed to remove soot from exhaust gases. Its function means that it requires periodic maintenance called regeneration to burn off soot content within the filter. Most vehicles are fitted with a warning light to advise when regeneration is required and this may also cause the engine management light to become illuminated and in some cases the vehicle will go into 'limp mode' as a precautionary measure until the regeneration is carried out.
Following regeneration warning light codes may be displayed and cleared
Warning lights, which become illuminated when regeneration is necessary, do not indicate that there is a fault with the vehicle but that routine maintenance is necessary. There is no way of identifying when regeneration will become necessary as there are many factors which can influence the frequency at which it will be required.

A diesel car has a filter to remove the soot from exhaust gases. As regeneration can only take place when the vehicle is operating at its running temperature constant short journeys will obviously decrease the length of time between regenerations becoming necessary, running a vehicle on low fuel levels will also mean that regeneration will not take place as the engine management system will not allow the extra fuel required to carry out regeneration to be used.
Important : if your vehicle will be regularly used for short journeys it is very important that periodically it is taken o n a long run with adequate fuel to prevent the necessity for frequent regeneration.
We suggest a drive of approx. 30 mins, at a constant speed of 50mph or above at least once a week.

Any manufactuer's warranty that is transferable upon purchase of a car will be subject to t&c's. Please refer to the individual manufactures for their terms and conditions which may be effected by missed or incorrect service history and exclusions which may apply.

Stop-Start technology enables an idle car to turn off an engine to save fuel and to help to reduce pollution.
The process is automatic and you can choose to turn the system off, usually though a dash button with an 'A' on it.

• The battery is low
• The air-conditioning is on
• The engine is cold
• The engine is cold and the wipers/lights/heaters are on (these all take a lot of battery power to work)
• Reverse gear is selected
• A parking aid is active
• The wheel is turned at an acute angle
• The car is on a steep hill
• There is a fault with the engine management system
• You have been driving for less than 20 minutes (cold engine)

If you have an issue connecting to Bluetooth please try the following before contacting us:

• Make sure your Bluetooth is enabled and try turning it off and on again to refresh it.
• Delete all previously connected devices from the car and your phone memory.
• Check your phone has the latest software update, if it doesn't then complete an update
• Check firmware and software
• Restart your phone
• Re-pair your phone
• Reset your network settings
• Carry out a factory reset on the infotainment system
• Disconnect the car battery, wait 5 minutes then reconnect
• Try to connect to a different phone.
• Make sure you are using an original Apple/Android data cable.

If none of these suggestions resolve the connection issue you are experiencing it may be that the software on your phone is more advanced than the software on your vehicle and a update may be required.
This can only be carried out by a main dealer who may charge a fee. The software update wouldn't be covered by Premier Car Supermarket

AdBlue is a brand name for a diesel exhaust fluid which is added to the fuel to reduce harmful emissions.
How does it work?
Exhaust fumes exit the engine through the DPF where the dangerous soot particles are trapped on their way to the catalyst.
A NOx sensor reads the amount of gasses and this reading determines the amount of fluid (AdBlue) needed to spray into the diesel fumes to clean up the NOx from the exhaust fumes.
Common AdBlue Problems
The most common AdBlue problems are:
• Diesel exhaust fluid (AdBlue) contamination
• AdBlue injector failure
• AdBlue pump failure
• Electrical or control unit issues
• SCR catalyst problems
• NOx sensor failure
• AdBlue level sensor failure
• AdBlue heater/pre-heater failure
• AdBlue tank leaks

Diesel exhaust fluid contamination - diesel fuel and AdBlue mixed up, different diesel exhaust fluids mixed together, AdBlue tank being filled with water are a few of the ways it can be contaminated

How to avoid AdBlue faults
The majority of AdBlue problems can be easily avoided.
Avoid short journeys with a diesel car , the system only works once the car is fully warmed up and the exhaust temperatures reach high levels. If you only drive your diesel on short journeys the urea in the AdBlue fluid can crystallise and clog up the pipes and the injector.
Diesels are not for short commutes.
