hello yet again guys
well the past year has been a nightmare
I lost my job and then at Christmas my wife was injured very badly and I have to now look after her...
anyway
the bills got out of hand (my fault!)
so I sold my Jaguar XF to settle the bills and bought a Transit van so at least I could earn a bit when I got time
so here I am yet again lol
I am skint! but I still have my wife and great family so I am rich !
so back to the question at hand
im looking at buying a diesel Merc 300d/td as they seem to run best on the cooking oil scenario
we have an astra bertone convertible at the moment but this is going soon as it is very hard to get in and out for the wife and uncomfortable
so I will have around £1000 to spend
I would like aircon and electrics if possible but being reliable and running on a 50/50 mix of clean new cooking oil and diesel is what I am looking at
age and looks are not important
I need it to last a year until the wife gets her mobility car (if the 2nd operation does not work)
I am wondering what choices are available to me but keep getting conflicting info
thanks in advance guys and it will be good to be back
