Are you trying to protect a relatively new-car warranty?

was towed by LR assist so must be taken to a LR dealer. Only 2 months of warranty left. I bought it recently so i'd have as close to new everything as possible. Thinking of reliability for a long term project.

It's been taken to a dealership, so you've fulfilled your side of the bargain. Now find an indie, and get it towed there. The dealer is seeing you as nothing more than a cash cow!
Run! Run Now!!!

Just Drain it & replace filter & fill with diesel , turn the key to purge the system but don't start it . turn off & turn on again for a minute , repeat 5 times.

Any petrol will be flushed into the tank through the return line where it will cause no harm, as it will be so diluted .

Start it let it run a bit & your good to go.

Have done same on a Ford Ranger - same engine & I drove it a lot further than 200m , I knew what the problem was but kept going as far as I could before finding a safe place to pull over.

Funny video, not so relevant to Common Rails (as per comment at 5:00 or so).

Agreed! Take your vehicle back now! Before they start any work. Their quote is outrageous!

There is an article on YouTube from Andrew at Berrimah diesel evidently a lot of the CRD engines survive this

Does insurance cover this??
