i've got a 1.5 diesel. i've been running it on biodiesel the last 2 times ive filled up. i havent noticed a difference untill now when i turn off the ignition and pull out the key the engine runs for a couple of seconds longer.. it never used to do this. im thinking the stop solenoid is going? second opinions?

also my speedo keeps dropping down to zero everynow and then (especially from cold starts) untill i jolt the accelerator and it kicks back in.. so im thinking something else there is on its way out too. nearly 110,000 miles so its long due for being a pain in the arse. its not really helpful when youre going through a run of speed cameras. :D

anyone have any experience or knowledge?
