A common thought is no as it runs a common rail injection. However I have see and heard of people in Australia running on it.

Try looking Sydney Bio Diesel User Group (http://%20www.sydneybiodiesel.com/)

Or here (http://www.biofuelsforum.com/) and here (http://www.aulro.com/afvb/showthread.php?t=27937)

LandRover say you are fine running on B5 which is a 5% blend with 95% normal derv. You could go further but I have no experience here. Other manufactures are now warranting cars on B100 but are mainly the Germans Merc,Audi, VW etc.

Tesco and BP already run a 5% mix they just don't advertise it this is because by 2010 they need to cut CO2 emissions from fuel by X and one way is to use Bio Diesel and Bio Ethanol. The big problem is that derv is the waste product from making petrol so they can't just stop using it as they wouldn't be able to get ride of the waste.
