When you say you run your Berlingo on ' mixed oil and diesel' are you referring to vegetable oil?

Vegetable oil is fine, along as it isn't hdi, then it's likely kaput!

mixed soya oil and sunflower oil plus some diesel note to others steer clear of rape seed oil.
not HDI and i tend to use mixed soya and sunflower oil with some diesel and it runs nice and quiet no knocking or pinking think may be a fuel cut out solenoid or isolator not sure where to look thow.

Free petrol? I need that job!
Would be very interested to chat more about the whole veg oil thing and hear about your experiences with it Ron but don't want to hijack the OP's thread.
I'll start another thread when I've got more time.
Cheers
