The unfortunate lady was somewhat agitated apparently, crying "I just can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car that I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to worry, and also that things like this sadly can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a protected spot and, seeing that it was just a few minutes from the office, we could find the lady almost instantly.

• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
