I have one of these. it has this in it.  74k miles, £600, short MOT. Passed MOT after fitting two £15 rear subframe bushes, and swapping to Winter wheels I picked up for £150 (original 15" BBS with some wintermaxx retreads, was cheaper than buying one 255 40 17 to replace the worn out one) ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

If you do town driving then don't do it, but if you sit on the motorway at 75-80 its doing circa 45-50 mpg, a Manual might be better around town.tis indeed the same basic engine as used in the rangerover, the E36 and the Vauxhall Omega. Its a TDS so intercooled 143 bhp as standard, Bosch mechanical pump but fully ecu controlled FBW, so it will take a chip (a physical open the case and swap the chip! which will take them to a conservative 175 bhp) but also run on Veg oil. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

I don't bother usually, as there's nowhere around here I've found yet doing it from the pump and its too much of a faff buying it from the supermarket, but when I'm over in Bristol I can get it at £1.10 a litre from the pump for proper Biodiesel.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

suppose at £1.10 it doesn't work out saving you much really vs normal diesel unless you're running an HGV 24/7________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

Its about £1.35 a litre for normal diesel around here I think, but tbh I just put fuel in and drive  :Normal veg oil off the shelf is about a quid a litre I think. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |
