I thought mine was a bit broken because it hunts on veg from cold...from this thread seems that's normal. Goes away once it's warm or it's just on pump diesel.

Pro's... 100 miles for a tenner. That's like back to 2004 prices, ish.

I don't really have problems with cold starts. Just get in, start it and go, if you're moving it don't konk out. Had to scrape windscreen at 6am this morning, car started on the button Smile running about 10% derv.

I'm still running pure veg and had no issues, and I live in the far North lol

Might treat it to a bit of diesel soon. Maybe.

i'm still on pure sunflower . . . .have a technique now where i have left foot on clutch, toe of right foot on brake and right heel on accelerator to keep the revs up high enough to stop her hunting when i come to a temporary stop . . . . . .Big Grin

thought i'd share the secret knowledge, if anyone asks to drive my car i'm like, "you wouldn't like it, it takes a knack" . . . . .cue them looking at me strange like . .Big Grin
