Up to 2010 their was just the diesel 6-speed torque converter auto as I've mentioned. I'll have to check later brochures for the 2011-2013 Qashqais
There isn't generally a problem with the 6-speed torque converter is there? Or is there? Not to the same extent as cvt though, surely?

I've never had a DPF diesel but I think any DPF can give rise to problems eventually
Thanks gloucester - appreciate the input!
My (limited) understanding is that DPF problems occur when the car in question is used on short, urban journeys where the exhaust doesn't get hot enough to burn off the captured particles. Over time there is a build up and the DPF gets blocked. This is solved by regular blasts down the motorway as far as I am aware.
Thinking a deisel automatic transmission could be the way forward, if indeed QQ is the way forward. Watch this space, I guess...
Thanks again for your help.
