if it works, then it works. If it will work after 1000 miles, lets buy champagne and celebrate.

I'm not too sure I trust all these people who say that "the missus" filld up with wrong fuel , I've done it twice - and yes I felt like a muppet.

first time was coverd by insurance, second time insurance refused to cover it and Johnsons of Oxford wanted a hefty fee, never being quick to part with the hard earned I googled up on it and found a local company to do a fuel draindown for a couple of hundred, and as i suspected the dealer was on the make http://www.fuelfixer.co.uk/2012/07/petrol-in-a-diesel-lexus/ put my mind at rest

My dad did this to his Alfa Romeo. Totally screwed the engine, over £1500 to fix something about a common rail system needed completely replacing.

Sounds like you got lucky, when my dad drained his etc. and put diesel in it still wouldn't start.

Count your blessings and hope it keeps running fine! :)
