Yours is definitely a TDI not a TD. I have had similar oil issues and there is loads of stuff about it on here, i think i have finally sorted it today, I will let you know when I'm sure when you've paid your tenner you can have a search through all the threads |

I run mine about 30% svo (veggie oil....£20.35 for 20 ltrs in costco) 70% derv which saves me about £8-10 a fill up so a saving ... I agree about 30 mpg which I seem to get regardless of how hard I try to do better, oh and about 23/24 mpg towing the caravan

thats a shame, although I understand why. Times are hard right now, especially with the cost of diesel.

Mine costs 25p per mile, I keep a book & buy 30 litres when the warning light comes on, log mileage & cost so I have a fairly good idea of running costs.
Not done much mileage less than 1000 |

I run mine on neat bio at 82p a litre, although I do buy a 1000 at a time. You can run on neat veggy this time of year till winter then to be safe drop to 50/50. Veggie in tesco at about 97p at the mo, but should be cheaper in catering wholesale outlet. So come on man pull your finger out and get a TDi |
