Thought I'd post this as news will get round anyway. Last night waiting at Sunbury traffic light, there was a muffled pop from the engine bay and then a little smoke from under the bonnet. Within in a minute there was a major engine bay fire. Fire brigade were very prompt and managed to stop the whole car going up, but engine bay is burnt very badly, bonnett deformed, wings paint damaged. A few flames did get into the cabin so there are scorch marks on the carpet, damaged switch panesl as well as water damage from the fire brigade. Car had just been MOT'd Friday with no advisories and full service after (what was until yesterday) the fantastic new paint job completed only last week.
Up to now we don't know what caused it. It is now up to the insurance to investiage and decide if they will pay for rebuild or write-off. Hopefully will know more about the future of LDD by next week.
