You 325tds will be fine on biodiesel but check the suitability of the seals and hoses. But I do mean biodiesel, not just SVO or filtered WVO. I would suggest starting with a 50:50 blend with mineral diesel initially and increasing to no more than about 80:20 unless you plan to fit additional fuel heating equipment for winter use.

You should also change the fuel filter after the first tank - biodiesel has very strong detergency.

The reason I said to buymycar that it wouldn't work is because he has a Mitsubishi GTO and I don't ever recall theri being a diesel model.
