  I'm thinking of buying a Skoda Octavia vRS around 2006 to 2010 model year and don't know whether to go for a petrol or diesel. The twist bit is that I get a company fuel card so although the fuel isn't free due to tax on beneft in kind, it's greatly reduced. However I have to fund all

• Lancia Beta Coupe (1981) - Diesel in a carburator petrol engine. 17 Dec 2012 (Forum)
  I have possibly been an idiot and put in diesel to my carb based petrol engine (if so it would be about 40/60 diesel/petrol).  The reason I think this is the car was running fine, put in fuel... drove 300 yards and it coughed and spluttered its way to where I was able to pull it over
