Well… last year I saw Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear advertising this type of use for cooking oil, so I was thinking something bad was happening up there…

That's what the book says, but the same engine in the Jag S Type can run on bio.

Hi all,
First post on this excellent site. 6 months of D3 ownership, and no major problems yet (tempting fate!).
I read the '07 Owner's Manual re Biodiesel, and wondered what the differences might be compared to my '06. I rang Land Rover's main Customer Services to ask this question. I explained that I was thinking about 5% Biodiesel, not old chip fat. They spoke to 'someone in Engineering', and then advised me that there would in fact be no problem with 5% in a 06 TDV6....
No warranty with this info, so please, no lawsuits if your seals turn to gum!
Interesting though...I think I might risk it if it became necessary.

I think you're right. France, for instance, but can't confirm that (anyone?). I spend a lot of time in Belgium, where as much as can discover is that it is to EN590 standard, which AFAIK allows for 5%. I raised the question with Land Rover because the prohibition in the '06 manual is firm but non-specific, and the new '07 wording might suggest a change. I would like to feel that there would be no problems either with the car or any subsequent warranty claim. I believe 5% should be the norm in Europe by 2010 - I'd hope that the '05 and '06 cars would still be running then.....
