Right, been informed that the 3.0 model will only run on 50:50 bio:diesel mix at the most, no veggy at all, but seeing as it does more mpg than the 2.7 then it all probably evens out cost wise I would have thought.

Still gonna have a look at it when it comes in, nothing ventured, nothing gained!

BioDiesel can be made at home from veggie oil, load of messing about, maybe worth looking at a later 2.7, slow note the ROAD TAX..

eminox · 09-06-2010, 09:34

I thought being a 2002 model, the tax would be around the £245 mark, or has salesman told me wrong??

Anything will do really, so long as it's comfortable, reliable, fairly cheap to run and won't break the bank!

The more I look the more things don't seem that simple after all!

no thats correct, its 2005/6 or thereabouts that the higher VED rate kicks in.

BigBlack · 09-06-2010, 09:35

My 2005 2.7 is £245 for twelve months, or £138 (?) for six months.

check parkers guide for ved link, can go on every model/trim variation
against MY.

thats way i bought the x reg trol, not a y or later, as was up in air still
what might become of bands.

eminox · 09-06-2010, 11:22

Yep, checked Parkers and it's £245/annum from April 2010, which is what the Vectra has increased to anyway, so both seem to linked road tax wise...better than £400 odd for the newer vehicles

eminox · 09-06-2010, 22:01

One other thing that I've come accross, is the 3.0 a straight 4 cyl engine or a V6? From what I've read etc it's a straight 4, but still wonder.

Cheers

i cant see the problem . buy a 02-04 plate 2.7 for around 3.5k . and put the change in the bank . then run it on veg oil all the time.
cant see the problem myself ... trouble free motoring and running on next to nothing.

or get the 3 litre mot it clean it up ... sell it .... then do as instructed above

Right, I can understand now why there's so much more about the 2.7 than there is about the 3.0!

Cheers for your advice though

Thomas-the-Terrano2 · 10-06-2010, 08:54

the 3.0 in question is an L4 but be aware thers a new V6 3.0 coming
out in the Navara pickup.

eminox · 10-06-2010, 09:55

Hmm, starting to lean towards the 2.7 more, and there's an L reg 2.7TDi SE 13 miles away from me for £1500 ono....that'll take veggy juice

...140k on the clock and mot next month as well!!

zippy656 · 10-06-2010, 10:01

eminox · 10-06-2010, 10:08
