If you buy an estate take a hoop with you to see how it fits a small change in dimensions can make all the difference

Don't buy used Volvo. Yes, sure, they're built like tanks and make you feel nice and safe, but here in the UK Volvo parts are ridiculously expensive...

Simta - I was wondering how long it would take for someone to mention veg oil/ bio diesel. Hippies love as it is better for the environment, mechanics and garages however hate it, because it ruins your engine over time (and then the hippies hate it too, when they have to pay out for a new engine! )
Im siding with the not going for a car too, like you said about the ammount of stuff we have to carry.

It all depends on two factors:
1) The type of diesel pump.
There are two basic designs of diesel pump, Bosch, and Lucas.
The Bosch type is fine with veg oil, but the Lucas type doesn't like it. It shoulud also be noted that if you use neat veg. oil (i.e. not mixed with derv), then you should fit a heater into the fuel line, as neg oil is more viscous than diesel, ao can put more of a strain on the pump, espcially in cold weather. Fuel heaters cost around £80
2) The engine - If it is an old style basic diesel engine, then there should be no problem. The diesel engine was originally designed to run on peanut oil, and most non-direct-injection diesels will be just fine running on just about any veg oil. Modern direct-injection engines can have problems with it, however, as apparently, the oil can slip past the piston rings, and condense in the sump, contaminating the lubricating oil, and thus causing excessive engine wear, so it is not a good idea to use veg oil in a direct-injection diesel engine.
My motor is a 16 year-old Mitsubishi 2.8 turbo diesel, and it has been running on a mixture of veg oil (used and fresh) and diesel for over a year now, with no problems. i also know of a few people who have been doing it for quite a bit longer than that.
So the answer really is to reearch the type of engine, and diesel pump, before buying a van which you want to run on veg oil.
Theere is a good deal of information on the net, for most engines, just do a search for the manufacturer's name and "vegeatble oil".
This is also possibly a good starting point: https://www.vegetableoildiesel.co.uk/...base/index.php
Hope that helps
