As she phoned us we made an effort to calm her as best we could, assuring her that all would be alright. By the time we arrived with her she was not annoyed any more and was pretty curious in observing our engineer perform the fuel drain on her Westfield. Later on she said: "My vehicle is akin to my baby, I only recently paid for it and it honestly freaked me out that I had put such a lot of wrong fuel in it.

The engine was chugging and then it cut out when she came to the the front of her work. We immediately started on the fuel drain following her call and got it sorted in 60 minutes whilst she was working. She came out soon after and thanked us saying, "I'm really relieved you sorted my car."
