cost, 200 quid for the recovery and work and 63 quid wasted petrol. Boy am i gonna be popular at work monday. Such a common reason for recovery they have a set price. Guy says he does 3-4 each week, including one of the other drivers a couple of months ago. Didn't feel so bad about it after he told me that

Lmao campa! i do atleast 2 cases a week.. Petrol in a diesel can b quite costly, especialy commen rail! D electronic injectors dnt like petrol thru them.. They die instantly! I make ma parts target each mnth by just selling landrover injectors. Td5 is 5k each.. (x5 fo 5cyl!) td4 is 6k each! 3.0 ranger is 10k fo set of 4.. Its incredible wat maintanance on commenrails costs.
