I'm very tempted to give one of these a go, spotted a good old Astra estate going for buttons locally and believe they are fine to run on veg or a veg / diesel mix without modification. I love the migs but the auto MPG round town is a bloody joke. The temptation of near 50 MPG at £1 a litre for a while at least is tempting me. It's had a brand new engine fitted a couple of years ago too

.

Anyone ran one? What they like ?

I had the estate one a few years back , never had any trouble with it . Its a tad gutless i found but very good on mpg

I've had a Cavalier 17td and a Vectra with the same lump back in the day,you won't win any races but they are dependable old things

I believe that the Cavalier that Albs ran on veggie oil had the Izuzu TD engine.
