Diesel? That's pretty wild! We couldn't do that in the states--the pump hose nozzle wouldn't fit in the fuel tank inlet. Hope the story has a happy ending for ya.

nah i was only kidding, diesel wasnt put in. ill find out what was wrong tomorrow hopefully. The car overheated to the point of "shutdown engine" and the battery died, all at once.

Reading up on here about all the failures that are possible for the battery system alone is frightening after spending so much money!! I hope its a simple fix.

If you shut down the engine when it tells you to, i presume you avoid damage from overheating?!
