Went to main dealers to get diesel filter for the trusty Tdi Octavia yesterday after Mrs Moatmeister unfortunately "misfuelled" it. Was told its now a non stocked item but one could be ordered for Tuesday. I told them that the car was only just run in after 10 years and 230k miles, and that I wasnt too impressed for a basic service part and did they expect me to spend £20k plus on a new one just to be able to get the bits for it? At least they rang round the local factors for me.

 

Car now running well again, luckily Wifey only put £8.00 petrol in it and it was virtually empty before!
