I reason you can’t have a diesel though right? Just don’t fill it with red!

They used to do spot checks at motorway services. I was always hoping to get one when I used to run (legit declared) veg oil. But usually they impound the vehicle.

It would also be interesting what noise level we all get to when accelerating hard. I have a decibel app on my phone will see what I hit next time I am out in it .Used to be quieter than my sons defender have roof headling in place now so seems quieter but have not checked recently. Was 93db with noise killer engine blanket fitted but that has died due to lead sheet breaking up inside it.Defender was 95db.
