Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum. I recently bought a 1 litre eco boost B-Max (52,000 miles) and love the car, but a couple of days ago the engine wouldn't crank. Lights, radio etc come on fine but the engine wouldn't turn over. I left it for a while, tried again and it started and ran fine, then got home and it wouldn't start again.
The mobile mechanic was concerned that the oil had been overfilled and could be affecting the combustion chamber. He's going to change the spark plugs and oil. I'm terrified I've caused the problem by putting in the wrong fuel, but there have been no engine warning lights and from what I've read, it looks like you can't put diesel into a petrol version.
Any views / advice would be welcome.
