Perhaps Prof and OrkneyDave need to compare notes? Might be something we should all be checking?

Glad everyone is ok. Thumbs Up

Diesel has a very low auto ignition temperature and readily combusts on hot surfaces in the engine bay. There have also been quite a few fires associated with the FBH fuel supply, something I have posted on previously.

I’ve had an injector leak on mine - sprayed a mist of fuel everywhere, fortunately at the front of the engine. I’d imagine the turbocharger gets pretty hot...

If motor insurance doesn't cover the full value, then perhaps explore claiming on travel insurance and / or house insurance.

The no insurance will be fine. Spoken to them and will sort when I get home.

In the meantime, after having nearly killed her, I popped “the question” today to swmbo and by god she said yes!

So right now I don’t care about my car 🎉🎉
