Title: Range Rover TDV8
Post by: B100 on May 13, 2017, 06:44:08 PM

Does anybody have any first-hand experience using B100 in a TDV8 ?     Just picked up a 2007 model which fortunately had no DPFs fitted by the manufacturer.    I've been running B100 in common rail Mercedes, Peugeot, VW and Landrovers for some years with no problems - except for Renault 1.9dci engines which suffer from gummed piston rings and then lose compression and won't start.

I think Jules had a V6 Range Rover for a while and as far as I can remember he didn't have any problems running bio.  I remember him saying it was very thirsty though.
