RE: problems filling up (other than the price!)

Dont forget there is a fuel breather in the neck of the filler, you need to hit this with the nozzle from time to when filling to release the air and allow the tank to fill completely.

RE: Advice required before dealer abuse !!

As the oil only passes round these parts when the engine is running, I dont think they would have drained the oil first, but a good mechanic would have checked the level after such a major leak, so fair to give them the opertunity to correct it first before shooting from the hip.
