THe shift to pure diesel (rather than teh 30% veg oil) appears to have cured all starting ills

Suggesting its a bit cold to lump 15L veg in the bottom of a nearly empty tank- more thought required..

Excellent- looks very similar to my commute this morning..

but my 90 degrees temp on the engine meant I was warm, and the car may be on for a good tank (esp as the easter holidays means less traffic on the road)
