Right, one thing I forgot to mention. Just chucked some regular derv in for a change today and the results are dire. Plumes of smoke down the road, won't idle for shit, stalls even easier, the same symptoms as on veg but much worse.
If it is the timing I will have to go to KrisB's to get it sorted because I have done the belt successfully twice, once on the old Lucas unit and once when I did the Bosch conversion, both times fine.
I've also changed the belt twice since the beginning of this problem, so either I've got the timing wrong both times or something else is running amok. I won't know until I can afford a trip up to KrisB.
The results seem to contradict the fuel filter being blocked because derv would flow better through a blocked filter than vegy.
And it is surprisingly driveable at higher revs, I was doing 90 on the motorway today, no problems.
However, I've done the belt twice since this problem started and neither time did the symptoms go away.
