Has anyone made an electric (or other) pre-heater for veggie fuel?
If so, how?
I know about the water based ones using the radiator/heating circuit but these are no good until the engine is warm.

Have a look here: http://www.implosionresearch.com scroll down the page and click on Plymouth Bio-fuels then click on view products. These should help with running your car. I have been using V100 without any heaters for about a year now and have not had any problems just make sure you fuel filter is in good condition, change it if in doubt.

I've covered 3000 miles in my 406 1.9td (Bosch Pump) running on pure rape oil from Lidl.
What you need to do is shell out £400 on a proper kit that allows you to run on pure diesel until the engine is hot. Then it's fine to run on the oil (46p/l).
The switch over valve has an electric heater fitted and the system comes with a fuel heater heated from the engine coolant.
Save loads (but make sure you register with Customs & Excise).
Takes a weekend to fit.
Runs sweet as a nut.
Sounds quieter too.
