Hi all I’m after a new car to run on bio , I quite fancy something Like a BMW maybe a 3 series estate or an X3 , want an auto too , I’ve looked at the list but it seems to list cars up to year 2000 and not much newer , open to suggestions need one fairly soon as my bongo overheated on the way back from Wales!
Thanks
Paul

I've just got myself a 2001 range rover P38. BMW straight 6 turbo diesel 2.5l automatic.
They practically never rust, spares are plentiful but they can be (will be?) An electrical nightmare. ECU's all over and more sensors/relays/fuses than you can shake a stick at.
Mines a bit of a project as it's been sat for 4 yrs and I'll always have a back up vehicle if it goes wrong.
Air suspension, leather heated seats, Aircon, leccy windows, sunroof, cruise control etc.
Low mpg but i don't care about that.

They'll run straight veg too.
I think Pete and nige(endorphin) have had them?

hi thanks for the reply , I have considered a P38 and have been into Land /Range rovers in the past , certainly one to consider, good luck with your one
