Bio Diesel

How do,

I've taken the leap after 20 years of company car driving, i've got rid, taken a car allowance and bought an 03 TD5 GS Auto to pull our Caravan - its the car i've always wanted and its fab!

I expect to be doing around 25000 miles per year and can recover fuel allowance from my employer and from my tax returns in April. Over the past couple of weeks i seem to be running at around 25 mpg around town and 33 mpg on the motorway which is roughly what i expected.

I've been thinking about Bio Diesel but the owners manual says in bold the vehicle is not suitable to run on it - is this right, if so can a coversion be easilly undertaken and would this have any effect upon mpg?

Cheers

Else he had an epiphany as a boy and knew they'd bring out a good one in 03, there'd just be a wait for a while!

Right Fellers,

You've got me at a complete loss, I don't know what the Fook you're on about.

the 03 is 2003

I know i'm new to all this landrover stuff but am i missing the point somewhere or do i need to go away and learn the lingo?

If it's only been out since 03 how could it be the car you've always wanted??

Oh Right - I've come to the right place then you're obviously all mad!

You now what I mean - a discovery - the fact that its an 03 is a bonus.

Shall we start again

......I've always fancied a discovery and am lucky enough to now have one on an 03 plate.

Look...Can i run the bugger on Bio fuel or what???
