I recently filled up at Sainsbury's, attracted by the penny a litre difference between them and Shell.
What-a mistake-a to make-a!
Within 300 yards, the Disco had a severe, but intermittent, misfire.
As I was in rush hour traffic, I battled on to my repairer, Simon Services of Wakefield. A call from there to Sainsbury's got me the usual answer of 'It hasn't happened to anyone else, guv' .
Over the past 4 weeks, Simon Services have doggedly traced, found and cured a number of faults, all caused by fuel contamination.
These have included having to have the fuel pump overhauled, the tank drained and cleaned, and finally, a new injector!
I reckon that over the last 4 weeks, I'm about a grand down in parts and labour!
So, from now on, it's Shell, BP or nothing, and Jamie Oliver and Sainsbury's can stick their fuel where the monkey stuffed the nut!
