Pop into tescos and buy ordinary veg oil and pop it in your tank 30/70% with dino diesel. Caveat: do this at your own risk, check http://www.vegetableoildiesel.co.uk/fuelsdatabase/database/index.php and be careful if your fuel pump is a lucas one. And watch out for C&E men in dark suits....This signature is not mine!0

Don't want to rain on your parade, but you probably have more chance of knitting water than you have of finding a Bio-Diesel Supplier. Although you can still buy it online in 25ltr drums at the bargain price of £1.42 / ltr inc delivery.0

There are many companies which ( if you google it )make biodiesel but suggest you check wheather its ok to use first in your car . Here is a link to see if it is

As a slight deviation from the biodiesel post I have enquired about using vegetable oil as a main fuel and was quoted £1600 to do a conversion on my corolla D4D which would give me a payback in around 18 months. Here is the site which I made the enquiry with.
Hope this helps.

Apparently all diesels made after 1996 and sold in the EU are supposed to be able to run on it without detrimental effects.0

Having read the Channel 4 link posted above I doubt my previous statement!!! Although other websites have claimmed that the only problems caused by Biodiesel is that the rubber seals in the fuel pump can wear prematurely. I guess it just depends on what websites you read!0

but if it's on the internet surely it must be true? LOL...if it's more than 10 stone, and that hairy, it's probably not a dog...it may be a wookie.0
