soakes94 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 This morning my defender wouldn't start (300tdi from a disco in a 1987 90). It was turning over fine. Tried holding the accelerator pedal down and that didn't help either. I filled it up with yesterday with 15 litres of vegetable oil and 30ish litres of diesel. It drove home fine (5ish miles). I've ran it on this mix of veg oil and diesel before with no problems. Changed the fuel filter and filled it with fresh diesel. It started and off to work I went. Started fine tonight at work and drove home fine (minus my fuel solenoid call dropping off halfway across a traffic light junction). Only noticeable thing tonight was as the car warmed up the idle speed increased. Is the mix of veg oil and diesel wrong? (To much veg oil) causing cold start problems and then an increasing idle?
