    I don't mind a diesel as long at it has at least 500 bhp.

      Thanks all - have arranged for RAC to come and sort out £250... I know, but I did ring some of the fuel drain/doctor companies, and whilst they can do it cheaper, did not get a good vibe on trusting them on a 40 grand car...RAC will at least give me peace of mind.

          OK, so you filled the car with the wrong sort of fuel and the first thing you did was post on CUK, instead of calling someone who could actually help you
          I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

            Yes, I wasn't sure of what course of action to take and so was sounding out anyone who may have been in this position before. Don't see the problem with that.

                To be fair as some people on here are rather mature if you had internet access and only your young mates answer your phone call, you are probably better asking on here.

                  My new car does state diesel in big letters all over it. The previous diesel car didn't which is why I ended up knowing the cheapest solution once I'd had it for a while and started to get complacent.
