interesting issue with disco 2

You know, I started mine up today and she completely failed to sound like a diesel. She ran on all 8 cylinders witha fearsome rumble. I didn't get to hear the delicious cacophony of a narrow boat engine, nor did I have the benefit of a smokescreen on acceleration....

Td5's run ok on bio or veg oil at 50/50

Bio will f..k every rubber seal up in ur fuel line, the seals changed when we introduced the Tempest, known to you as Discovery 2. I am not tryin to be a spoilsport, just giving you a bit of info.

Jumped in mine this morning, great fuel consumption all the way to work, parked up, got out, locked it up, walked away, looked back (to make sure Id switched lights off ) thought 'oh f..k' Must av been a late night, the missus had got the privelage of the V8 for the day, I had jumped in the Galaxy.
Thought I may have a phone call in the day moanin about a prob, but no. May be empty on fuel now though.

well I have to say I don't go mad with the mix, it stays predominately pump diesel, but if the seals will give up....Then as pump dino diesel must contain up to 10% bio....you think this will be an issue.:doh:
