  1. to be honest, just add 10l per tank full of diesel to see you it goes for a bit. if wanting to run it fully on oil I don't know enough about the fuel pump on the lupo. not sure who made it. just run like I said but do change the filter after about 500 miles, then maybe again 500 to 1000 after depending how you use it
  2. don't have to declare it to no one as the tax has already been paid on it. regarding mpg, no you don't get as much, but on a tank full costing £100 of derv, it only cost me £70 in oil last year
  3. Hi, as a new person to lupos I'm still unaware of the different centre dashes there are and fitting later spec to old. An arosa parked next to me the other day and it's air vents kind of mirrored the Speedo in shape. is there a how to on here? excuse me if so but viewing this on my crap phone
  4. where I spoke of the starter motor, this only starts giving hassle if the glow plugs aren't really working too well. it's worth when starting from cold too let the light go out twice to make sure they are properly heated up
  5. when temp is cold it also puts more strain on starter motor and glow plugs
  6. make sure it's pure veg oil. Tesco sell 2 bottles of 5l for about £10.was £9 last year
  7. I ran my t4 on it, all really depends on the fuel pump as veg oil can perish the seals. also depends how the fuel is squirted into the engine. 1st time using oil, change the fuel filter after 500 odd miles, also can add a little 2stroke oil as it lubes the engine. to thin it all you can also add a tiny amount of unleaded! well, you could in my van, not so sure on a lupo
  8. look for rubber grommets in the bulk head.
  9. I bought a little socket set from Halfrauds, managed 3of them. one nearest the coil wouldn't reach!
  10. The previous owner ripped out the stereo taking the ISO plug with it. I'm after the correct colour wiring so I can wire up my alpine head unit. I think some manufacturers swapped power leads? Been a while since I wired up a stereo so could do with a hand :-D
