My 2004 2.7 TDi averages about 27 mpg with mixed driving. I've tried to improve on that but driving like a saint only seems to give me about +1 mpg. Towing the caravan takes me down to about 22 mpg.

Oh, and welcome

Hi Kev and welcome aboard. These are great motors, had mine since 2002 and another as a project car. Sadly given the class of vehicle don't expect economy, the 3.0 litre is better than the 2.7 for economy but I personally prefer the 2.7. No need to worry about timing belts or chains, these are gear driven and have a proven pedigree. If you are not confident about it's history then I would give it a good service with correct spec of oils too.
As you've found out there's a lot of banter on here as well as great info. As we've found out recently it's a close knit community on here too but newcomers are always welcome.

Enjoy your new truck and ask away if you have any problems.

By the way I access here with an ipad, galaxy s3 phone amd computers. I keep getting a message pestering about tapatalk app but the more it pesters the more I resist.

It's safe on the Bosh pump but it damages the seals I think on the Zexcels.
You will get more advice on this i'm sure, John

Sling it in mate!!!!!!!!

I've ran my 96' Maverick (Zexel) and '04 Terrano on Waste Oil, New Oil and at the moment homemade BioDiesel that I'm making using waste oil from various restaurants and take aways

Learning from past problems, and this is only my opinion, I have removed the OEM fuel filter setup as I like to see whats going on in my filters I use clear plastic bulb ones (5 Microns) and replace the feed and return lines with clear food grade PVC pipe (I have some pre cut lengths for sale if you are interested)

I've ran pure oil straight out of the 20l tins down to temps of about 3-4 degrees before you see a noticeable behavior difference in idle at cold etc and sluggishness, at this point I usually just throw some Diesel/Petrol in but this year I'm going to try and Winterize my BioDiesel the right way with additives

I just used to use veggie oil straight from the bottle but don't know how much it is in France
