Well, with doing more and more miles for work I decided to get an oil burner
Wasn't In any rush to get one, but as with most things if one comes at the right price you take it.

So I'm now the proud new owner of a rusty yellow.... Erm blaze yellow 1998 phase 2 Dturbo, not quite up to rallye speed but the ride to work this morning was very comfortable and a lot less frantic

It's been well looked after cambelt and clutch and a few other bigger jobs done in the last couple of years
What I have noticed from the history is its evens to like wishbones (I've heard that off somebody else as well)

So who's had one/got one?
What's the main issues with them?
What sort of mpg can I expect?
Any cheeky little performance mods??

The best engine in the world is the vagina, it takes any size piston, its self lubricating, starts with 1 finger, and every 4 weeks does its own oil change. It's just a pity the management system is so fecking temperamental. 

You may well also be able to run on veg oil - we haven't as we wanted a long term reliable car, but a friend has been with no probs at all.

Nothing to see here

Wishbones depends on suppliers and how well u avoid potholes....
Ill chat to you on thurs about tweaks is it a Lucas or a Bosch(tophat) pump the latter will love veg oil the former hates it and shears shafts
I used to get 75mpg out of my ph1dturbo with a fuel tweak and no turbo mods (used to like triple figures on the private road too as no charge temp issues also gotta be the easiest filter changes/service pug made compared to the 6's

Do one daz some of us don't sit on our arses doing f**k all at home all day

And it's an easy choice really, 300-350 miles to £70 in the rallye or 400-450 in the Dturbo for about £5 more? Makes no sense does it?
And as a lot of people say a few small performance tweeks can up the economy as well

even at 10p a ltr more it's £6 max per tank, and if i fill up twice a month compared to 5 times a month i'm definitely saving money. 406 v6: 0, 306 hdi: 1

the boost thing is definitely a problem. the sheer G's i pull makes me blackout occasionally

yes i forget about the armache in my HDI, it is terrible wrestling the wheel when it torque steers. it's like driving ten Focus RS's all at the same time

Except common rail can already do that albeit we rarely see it. Clio Dci get 80mpg plus at 65-70mph

He says he has a Bosch pump, so the answer is, yes you can.

Don't try it on a mechanical diesel with a Lucas pump, the thickness of the veg oil tends to seize the pump and snap the main shaft.
