should have mentioned before, my Citreon Picasso 1.6HDI 110PS (I believe its common rail, pretty much the same engine as found in the Ford Focus) has now done circa 2000 miles on B100 (home brew) with no problems..... I hope I still make it home tonight now I've said that. And the wife's Pug...

Interesting...not really thought of it like that. I'd been thinking along the lines of the Defender due to its amazing load capacity, only to find out the Disco matches it and gives a more comfortable ride. The other thing that appeals to me about the Def. is its a bit more of a statement, a...

very interesting thread...... it does sound like the quality of the fuel is once again the problem (not the type of fuel, if you know what I mean). I found out the other week that the new 2007 Def runs on Bio (roughley 70% Bio), unfortunately this was only a short term test (200-300...

have a Disco 3 for less? there must be reasons for having a Def. over a Disco? - but what are they.

I would suggest you have a good look at resources for your oil first. then consider hiring the equipment rather than buying......I just might be able to help on that score.

you need to mix it with waste vegetable oil, not any old lard. almost forgot, you need to take the bubbles out too.

:eek: 2 new gearboxes - what can't he drive:) :confused: that doesn't sound very promising. on the electrickery side and engine you'd have thought they'd be sorted if its from the Ford transit?

bleedin waste oil....its right mucky stuff, upto me bleedin elbows in the stuff earlier. there you go one post closer to the price of diesel (and don't forget we've long past the price of bio):D

I have bought my processor from green-fuels in Fareham. They also organised the course which I felt was essential and included using my processor to produce Bio. Excellant company to deal with and would highly recommend. good. luck.

its properly disappointing to think there might be issues with the gear box and injectors. the tuff car seems like it might can sucumbed to the EU and gone a bit soft? I don't know, what next....they'll be making jails comfortable / welcoming. fecking unbelievable!

so they ain't what they were before they are now?

come on....I really want to buy one (once I've found the funds) but surely there must be some snags with them? oh and I know they don't have the 12 seat configuration anymore but there's only 4 of us so shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Scrounger, my understanding is as you say you can produce 2500 ltr / year duty free for your own use. You start selling it and believe you become a producer and don't benefit from the duty free element, I belive its 2500 ltr / premises and not person ie a family of four could not produce 10,000...

other than they don't have flaps. are the new engines, gearboxes and the rest of it just as good or does new mean cheap and less robust? I knew the interior visually is a huge improvement but are they really an improvement overall?

I don't really want to give the game plan away altogether just yet as to the best of my knowlegde nobody is doing what I'm planning to do. Re; your other questions its will be completely above board and yes you'll be provided with all / any documentation required. And I'm aiming to provide a...
