Check your Mis-Fuel Reset Key

Before I start, and you lot start taking the Censored No I did not mis-fuel my Disco, I simply used the wrong style nozzle on my jerry can and let it slip in too far thereby activating the misfiel device.

Anyway, after 7 years of being inthe boot unused stored with the jack and wheel change tools, the one time I come use it I find the two little prongs have broken off and the yellow bit of plastic is useless.

Fortunately I have a neighbour with MY11 and so borrowed theirs allowing me to fill ing the rest of the jerrycan, but I would have been Censored if i'd have been at a fuel station and unable to use the tool.

Same issue with me, but I was in France and I think an old petrol pump had been changed to diesel and triggered it!

So I managed to fashion a tool from a fork lol
