Hi, newby here, looking at buying a Terrano as by 05 Vaux Vectra is....well I have to be polite and watch my language!

Anyway, that's going and I've been offered an 2002 Terrano, 3.0 SVE, not seen it yet as it's a trade in, coming in next week, £3500, MOT due either next month or month after!.

Does this sound a decent price and what should I be looking out for??

Also saw the thread about people putting in veggy oil 50/50 in their vehicles. Surely they must mean processed veggy oil i.e. biodiesel, not just pure veggy oil (me being thick there!!)??

Cheers

sounds ok, had a 2.7 tdi t2 for 4 years and a 3.0 patrol now just over a year.

the 3.0 t2 go really well, sve sounds high spec too.

havent used svo myself, but others here swear by it, either way you'll soon be
wondering why you left it so long to ditch the vectra, and driving regular cars!

welcome aboard.

So, just get regular veggy oil from the supermarket etc or filter home used stuff and add it 50:50 to the tank, no additive etc...wow...a diesel truck is seemingly more attractive as they day goes on

I'll check on that link regarding the 3.0 litre diesel engine though.

zippy656 · 08-06-2010, 12:18

i only use clean new stuff. other wise its loads of messing about filtering cleaning ect. also makes it cose more per liter if yo ugot to buy filters ect.

i've a trade card so can get it from wholesalers in 20 lts bottles.

i know the 2.7 intercooler is ok, but wouldnt like to say about any of the others.

Wow, I really am surprised. I know diesel is basically oil, but never considered blending veggy oil and derv to run a truck....bargain

i think you will find that 2500 divided by 12 is 208
