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...

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 :)

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...

Yep, it is a 5 door, leather interior etc, that's all I know at the moment, won't be able to have a look until next week :(

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

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

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...
