Thanks for the tip, if and when I can find a decent mechanic I'm going to have a oil and filter service, as my diesel filter is on the bulkhead does it just unscrew like an oil filter ? If I can unscrew it is there a procedure to bleed the system ?

Plus he's in Zimbabwe so could be different set up ?

Thanks Nodge, it's only had light use it's sunflower oil so I'm doing my bit for recycling !

I'm going to give it a whirl, IF I can drain all the crud out first maybe through a cloth etc, I will add two litres to a 3/4 tank and see how it goes. It's only as I have to pay to get the old oil picked up, this way I will use it up as I go along. I can already see the told you so replies lol.

I think we agree, it's just a point it would probably run ok especially as I was referring to a few years back when my diesel was fitted with a choke !

I have a quantity of used cooking oil, it's really just to dispose of it not for financial reasons, I was thinking of adding literally the odd litre or two to my nearly full tank. If I strain it carefully do you think it'll do any harm ?

Isn't aircraft fuel basically kerosene ?

Ahh not in my case Nodge, I only use - - - - Bom bom bom bom esso blue !

Hi, was chatting to a fellow member in Lanzarote a while back. I'm afraid I can't find that conversation or remember who it was ! My only question was could he or anyone else recommend a reliable trustworthy garage to repair phoebe. Any help much appreciated.

A real old boy once told me ( during the war ! ) he used to run his truck on paraffin. I passed a garage that was selling it for £1 a gallon ( few years back ) I used to put about four gallons in then fill with diesel. Did hundreds of miles with no ill effects ( until I was warned for duty evasion )

Hi fellow SE Londoner ( part time )

Then next day he could say, what scumbag did that ? Let me take it to the tip for you ( for £50 )

Seems like a lot of bother to me, personally I'd wait till dark then lob it into next doors garden.

Her ! Oh yeah sorry

Her stilettos play havoc with the head lining though.

Anyone fancy a straight swap for my 2000 Audi tt 225 ? Looking for a LR product value around the 2k mark. My Audi has 93 k with FSH it will come with a full years MOT More details to interested parties. Car is in South London.

Did you forget your green wellies ?

Wouldn't expect that from LR would we ?

I don't expect to see oil in my sump as leaks from every orifice !

Someone must know hd3 ? I'm afraid I can't though.
