P'raps i'm just lucky, but my 300 Tdi has just started with absolutely no hesitation whatsoever after sitting in a cold wet windy field for 3 weeks! Even i was amazed. :eek:

One for one of the gaffers i suspect.;) I've recently set up a new business venture, and miraculously even set up my own web site to promote it :eek: ...off roading related....but rather than just plunder ahead and put the link to it in me signature, me being dead courtious and well mannerd...

Should diff lock engaged REALLY be neccessary to enable engine braking? :confused: Genuine question, and i'll certainly try it tomorrow. Only normally use it when i'm stuck tbh. Just noticed that CharlesY has mentioned using diff lock too! Is this where i've been going wrong i wonder...

mmmm....reckon i'd get a few dozen liters out of the missus, price of diesel and all that like? :p

"gone" years ago.:rolleyes: What's next ffs? Your deceased Auntie Betty's corpse melted down to run your Disco on? :eek: This could put funeral directors out of business, and an upturn in body snatching crime.:mad:

Thanks for that. I now have some suspicions. I'll try it tomorrow.

Not running on vegy oil by any chance? Is it 'spinning over' ok whilst trying to start it? Mine was a bit of a pig to start earlier this year, but that was discovered to be the starter motor being old and knackered. I thought it was the battery due to sluggish turn over.:rolleyes:

My Tdi 300 is a luvlee old tank. :p It's given me loads of the usual grief since purchase granted, but most of this have been sorted now. The only thing I really wish though, is WHY didn't i get a manual? :rolleyes: Why? On reflection i simply rushed into the decision because it looked a...

Quote button misbehavin' I see? ;) Anyway. To answer our friends original question. I really don't think you should use 100% veggy oil in ANY diesel tbh. Too damned thick, especially at this time of the year. As for the TD5, you might get away with about a 25% mix with bio. What do land Rover...

If you say so Buster, fantastic little flyer it is, but it's crap off road.;)

85p a litre just 'arf a mile from here, lucky sod that I am.;) Not a TD5 granted, but my Tdi loves the bio, with a few liters of Asdas own vegy oil added too. Absolutely no problems whatsoever. In fact i'd say it's running smoother than ever tbh. Also running a PD130 engined 2005 Fabia Vrs...

Nah. Hub caps and car radios...apparently. Too much like 'ard werk breakin' into houses. ;) :D

C.J. the scouser here. Anyone else or are you all mad Jocks? :eek: 96 Disco Tdi auto that i want to swap for a manual of some Landy sort, and love off roading. I'll post summat in the Disco section with regard to that, with some nice piccies.:cool: There, that's the pleasantries over. I'll...
