Default Anyone got a Landy 200TDI or 300TDI?

I've just got around to tweaking the fuel injection pump and OH MY GOD it's a different car.

I only adjusted the pre-boost, the stop screw under the blank on top of the pump and I can now cruise at 30mph in fourth without the car juddering itself to bits, hell, I can now cruise at 30mph in fifth gear..



Not going to mess about with the other adjustments yet but will report back in about a month to say if I seem to be getting through more fuel or not.

Honestly, it's like a different vehicle, so smooth and so much easier to drive around town

Balls to the bio diesel, I've just put 20 litres of veg oil in it last night, every 80 litres of veg oil is over £30 cheaper so will be putting 20l of veg oil in each tank.

Don't want to put too much veg oil in as is getting cooler/colder now.

ANYWAY, you done that bloody trailer yet?

You need to tell me more, I've looked in to it but at the time couldn't get hold of lots of veg oil SVO or WVO but now I have a Makro card.

I've got nowhere to brew it anyway
