    Wow...I've only been here 6 months, and I'd never even heard of that being on its way in when I was in the UK. A few mates are going to be a bit miffed, I shoudl think. Mind you, if a TDi is going to have trouble, there's going to be a few London taxis with the same issue, I should think.....

    interestingly, the lro article, the london brochure and the smh editorial all seem to totally ignore the potential reduction in fossil fuel use & pollutants that would be achieved with greater use of biodiesel (which can, at least in part, be a renewable form of energy)
