Was it turbo or NA?

I'm sure I read the early non-turbo cars were DN0SD193, and the later and turbo models were DN0SD293. Many on here are trying the GTD style nozzles DN0SD273, but the Monark...

I have to say - very well said. On the veg oil forum they laugh about these stories of Bio-diesel exploding engines, or killing cats! It is intended to be a direct replacement for pump diesel, and...

Will keep a look out for cheap oil - the last lot was from Asda, about £5 for 5 ltrs of semi synth 5/30 and try and change as frequently as possible. And as I said before I'll run some more BC109...
