It is taxed at 20p less per litre than normal diesel.
There used to be a place in Iver, near slough, but I can't find the details
any more.
There is a basic list here

I use it , but in my 1995 Discovery 300TDi not a Pug
it runs very well with it.
I've ran it on upto 80/20 mix but it's not recommended for newer engines.

It's great when all the regular stations are selling at 99.9p or more
and I was buying at 91.9p

I think that counts as a "newer" engine and you should not use stronger than
a 10-20% mix (i.e 10-20% of bio).    I don't think its worth the hassle of
filling from two different pumps when the engine (or at least mine) is
already returning an average of 46mpg.

I would suggest a bit of further investigation first as in a recent thread
("Pugs and biodiesel" 21/5/2006) it was claimed that it was not suited to
all engines.    Apparently older ones are ok but newer models should only be
run on a mix containing 10-20% bio.   There is also apparently some question
as to whether use of bio can affect warranties.

I don't think Chris will be too worried about the warrany issue on a 405TD.
