2004 was nearly in flames....

Post by peter316 » Thu Oct 09, 2014 7:29 pm

Came home from work, drove 5 miles and stopped for petrol just round the corner from my house...

Then pulled onto the drive and noticed the inside of the car was full of smoke, switched off the car and called the fire brigade! They came out and by then it had settled down but the smoke was coming from the engine, going into the garage tomorrow for some investigation! :(

Anyone had this?
