If the servo pipe is the only fault you find you've really well.

I told you luck would not be needed ;) Well done, must be a great feeling. Normally I'd say go out and get it muddy, but yours is so nice it needs to stay that way. Credit where credit is due.

It's well quoted on both the veg/bio forums I frequent. I think the mechanical drag you are experiencing maybe more due to viscosity and slower burning of oil.

being only an hour from Salisbury Plains helps :p You lucky B******

As you have a D3 for daily use go proper off road with the D1, lift it, big wheels n tyres, winch bumpers front and rear, snorkel, cage, the full monty. Then use the dam thing, so many do all the work just to look cool. Well you did ask.

And XJR1300 is a lovely bike

Ummm. It's not the solenoid connector on the starter motor then.

Veg oil has higher lubrication qualities than diesel, so I have no idea why you feel the need to add two stroke oil. One thing to keep in mind is since sulphur was removed from pump diesel they have been adding small % of biodiesel, they claim it's for the environment, but in truth it's for...

Veg oil will ruin you car, take up all your spare time, stain all your clothes, make all your friend turn against you, leave everyone behind you looking for the fish & chip shop and boar 99% of all people you tell about it. Oh and everything that goes wrong with your car will be down to the...

markSX is my name and what I thought was the trim level of my Disco, I signed up before I picked it up and once I had I realised it was an XS not SX, but it was to late.

Could be interesting, at least Evens it's on it.

Tell us more.

Is the engine turning over or not ?

The undertone to that is, it's mine, it's all mine :D

With so much work having been done you'll need to do at least 1000 miles before you're happy it's safe enough for your beloved wife to drive. Or that's how I'd be playing it anyway.

Fed mine with veg oil today :), making bio was getting to be a pain so went down the easy route. Needless to say I got my air ingress problems sorted first.

Looking forward to hearing the result of the MOT, I would wish you luck but I really don't think you'll need it. Stunning rebuild :)

He's is/was on vegetableoildiesel.co.uk, I've read his thread on there and he seems to have had some success.

So will a tdi injection pump (or one off another engine) fit the TD engine, and can the 19j injectors be re-set to the required pressure ? I've done a similar IP swap on XUD engines and it's almost a straight swap, but I know nothing about the 19j.

Was the 19J TD ever fitted with a Bosch injection pump, or can one be fitted. I ask as I've been eyeing up a G plate 90 that has shown up on a search to be a turbo diesel model, as I plan to run it on veg it'll need to have a bosch ip.
