the fuel filler nozzle doesnt quite fit...is anyone having the same thing? also should the headlights point down and to the left or down and to the right i think mine point to the right.

For driving in the UK, the light pattern from the headlights should illuminate the left hand side of the road, otherwise the beam will dazzle all oncoming motorists, and you will be seriously unpopular! Maybe you've got continental style headlights???

I hope it's not ther wrong sort of fuel you were trying to put in........

In the dim and distant past when I had a petrol car, the leaded fuel nozzles were deliberately too big for unleaded fueled cars.

Some diesel nozzles are very big, but now that gararges sell diesel to cars as well as lorries, it's not usually a problem.

Hope you weren't trying to put diesel fuel in your car.
