For years, my family owned diesel cars (mostly Peugeots), but I've only ever owned petrol-powered cars.

However, a 1975 300D (I think it's a W115, I think) has become available locally and my wife has fallen in love and I'm persuaded to at least take a look.

So, educate me vintage diesel owners - what am I letting myself in for? What biodiesel blends could I use in this car? Anything I should watch out for? What will frustrate me with a W115, and what will thrill me?
