It was close to ten pm on a Monday and though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were seated there going over the rugby rankings, ready for the seventh telephone call that day to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Southbourne and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel boss' Renault Espace hire car in error. She was fairly irritated apparently, stating "I still cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!"

• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
