Is this likely to do damage if it was only driven a short distance?
Wife did it to hers a good few years ago but that was the DTi which i believe is a different engine.
Still going now so no damage to that.

If it's borked what is likely to need replacing?

Might be worth noting how much diesel was already in the tank (roughly off the gauge if you remember) and how much petrol was put in.

Turns out it was wrong. It was run out of diesel completely. Now keeps stalling and management light on. Possibly just needs bleeding and ECU reset?

Not my car, just one i heard word of going cheap. Worth a punt as it was cheap!
