Looking for a new car to run on bio
« on: August 10, 2021, 09:07:46 AM »
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.
Running [if I get enough veg] Defender 200TDI and Winnebago Lesharo (now gone)Range Rover P38 ,and a space heater on home made bio.
