has had petrol
error code p0008
engine management light on all the time

What do you mean, has had petrol? has petrol been added to the fuel? if so how much when and what was done about it?

tank drained, new filter

was it driven with the petrol, if so how far? you may have damaged an injector or the pump.
Replied on December 18, 2011
some kilometers
sent injectors for testing, checked out ok
pump appears to work ok, until going into limp mode

I would be suspecting a pump problem, the diesel is the lubricant for the pump, petrol is very dry, you may have damaged the pump internally,regardless the pump should be checked over.
