tips for short journeys

You don't usually hear of problems with Cits. I thought that was the idea of the bag of Eloys? I think to have problems one would have to drive in town & never go faster than 30mph.

Not wishing to criticise what you are saying here, but on what grounds do you make this statement ?
We see at least 10 cars a week with DPF issues , caused by exactly this type of use. 
I can guarantee you that if a car is used for a whole year doing only 3 mile journeys , that the DPF will be blocked at the end of it.
The PSA 1.6 hdi unit is probably the worst engine there is for being damaged by the filter being blocked.

Loads of threads on here about dpf but I've never seen one that mentions problem with warning light coming on. Mine gets a trip 60-70mph down a dual carriageway once a month if it's lucky the rest of my driving is local rural, maybe 10-20mile round trips never more that a few miles on open road 40-50mph. Perhaps this is enough to regen? 70k miles now with no probs. Provided op runs it down a dual carriageway once a fortnight then I doubt he will have problems.
