the site I mentiond earlyer will help

SVO is NOT biodiesel.. its veggie oil... not the same...

but you can use 2500 litres with out paying duty, just need to keep a record.. oh its a ROLLING year as well..

but 2500 litres is 580 litres a month.. so WAY more then normal use..

Yep, have searched that site and waiting a reply regarding the Terrano 3.0, and yeah, I knew veggy oil isn't biodiesel but was surprised that diesel engines will run on veggy oil.

Still finding my feet and seeing if this Terrano will be worth a gamble, would be a better gamble if I could put veggy oil through it, but that's a bonus not a deciding factor I suppose.

took me ages to make my mind up and do it..

had a vizit from two members same week.. both run on veggie oil.

one cleared out my local Tesco! ( you know who I mean Makeitfit!! )

Hahaha, I must admit, if you can get it cheap enough then 'every little bit helps'...lol

If the 3 ltr wont have the veggy oil then I might just go for an older shogun or something that's solid, reliable and can be worked on and will run on veggy oil

[zippy656]

that dont sound like a shogun then..

but a 2.7

[eminox]

Ah...right...any suggestions anyone??

Budget is max £5k, need to get dog, child seat and pushchair in, something I can work on and not have to take it to a stealers to find out a simple fault and parts are cheap, and won't cost an arm and a leg to run, oh and will take biodiesel or veggy oil....fussy??

you wouldn't be buying a Maverick for £5k and certainly not a Mistral. well not unless you're an eejyit!

£5k puts you in 2003-5 territory and a final facelift T2 2.7 or 3.0.

Eminox have a goode look around and you'll see that the Terrano is the most cost-effective 4x4 you can buy pretty much. Your £5k would buy you a good lowish mileage 2003-4 2.7 TDi that does 23-25mpg but defo runs on anything up to 100% SVO, or a 3.0 that we are not yet sure about but does 32mpg anyway.

Same money buys you LRs, Discos, Shotgun, Mitsis etc that are much older and a bag of shite....

Still plenty though eh
