Cheapo misfueling alarm now on the market

For those who have had the unpleasant experience of realising that they have just put 80litres of petrol into the TDv6/8 Halfords are now selling this device for £6.99 to remind you which fuel your RRS SHOULD be getting!
http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/...yId_165619

£6.99 is a lot less than the bill for the clean up after a mis-fuel incident 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW
