Thanks James & Keith, I remembered the discussion on the list a while ago, & had found similar links to the ones James gave me. I was also aware that SVO was an option (& a friend runs a SVO/diesel mix in Ireland in a Rover. I was interested in any info on an Australian development of the technology. I will refer anything I find out to the list when the chap emails me.
