Couple more changes, dewiper, new rear bumper and new plates, actually washed it as well
Turns out the plastic end from a chair leg fits
Couldn't resist this on the plates...
And yeah, actually clean!
Also done about 1000k on SVO now, feels no different to derv but I am getting a lot of hunting on cold starts even with new glowies, worth it at a quid a litre though!
Got a 1000 mile trip next week down to Cornwall, fingers crossed

Get some auto glym tyre shine, give it loads of that for a couple weeks, then after its taken you can do it once every 2 weeks, even if you don't wash the car lol, use to keep my ph2 real black,

Well, got back earlier today, total mileage 1044 miles in a week, all on straight veg with a little 2 stroke oil to protect the pump. 7000 miles now since a service and I can tell so I'll be ordering oil and filters tomorrow, and some glow plugs because it's struggling to start on veg, which it shouldn't at this time of year...

I wouldn't risk it mate. It's not a lubrication issue, it's the thickness of veg that apparently kills the Lucas...

Some people have ran veg on a Lucas it's not reccomended but it all comes down to how big your balls are
