Oh good lord

Will the insurance cover it?
Oh well, at least you have your health, your doods and hopefully a gsoh
Sorry, trust trying to get a smile from you.

Oh I can believe it... if you normally burn diesel. We don't have that model in diesel here (gas only), but driving a diesel Benz myself I know how fast the bills can get cranked up.
This shot yesterday afternoon when I arrived to see my engine spread all over the shop... two days of labour to repair a minor oil leak. Happily, this is warranty work for me, but I feel your pain nonetheless!

oh Nat did that except it was a full tank of petrol - she drove it about a mile then did a quick stop and it wouldn't start. Luckily I think in total it only cost about £300 for a drain and the engine wasn't damaged.
Your Merc is beautiful and I am very jealous but a 9K bill.

Wow - was that a new engine? My diesel car has a specially shaped filler so that you can't put petrol in. I've never tried to do it but it's hard enough to get the diesel nozzle in - it needs a wiggle. Such a simple idea but it seems to be effective.

Unfortunately not covered on the insurance. Lesson well learnt

Whoops! A very expensive mistake.
