Running my Vauxhall Astra on veg oil

A question about : Running my Vauxhall Astra on veg oil

I have just bought a 1997 Vauxhall Astra td. Its very clean and tidy and has been well looked after, although the turbo is not working so is a bit sluggish at slow speed.
I can get my hands on an unlimited supply of Wesson green vegetable oil from the canteen at work, they just throw it our every week (approx 60 litres).
Now I am planning on collecting 20/30 litres and bring it home where I will filter it using a J cloth in the garage and then add to my my fuel tank at about a 60/40 mix.

Replacement car key. Outrageous cost!

A question about : Replacement car key. Outrageous cost!

I need to replace a broken key for my Alfa 156. I have been given a cost, by the dealer, of Ј190. This is unbelievable..............
Their excuse is that the keys are computer chipped, no longer can you just go and get one cut.

I cannot afford this. Is there a cheaper alternative.

You comments will be appreciated.

A question about : Cheapest Petrol & Diesel Discussion Area

I've noticed recently that prices differ quite a bit in different towns. At the moment I fill up when I visit Bristol on Thursday nights because it's 97-98p per litre there whilst it's 101-102p per litre in the area where I live.
