After changing the oil and filter this morning i struggled to put the belly pan back on so i went round to my mate’s garage to put it on the ramps
But when i went to start it to drive it on the ramps it wouldn’t start so we pushed it in
We then found that the fuel pump fuse had blown so after replacing it we tried to start it again
Next clouds’ of smoke and then flames started coming from one of the coils and no matter how much we tried to put it out it just started again
Luckily my mate just happen to have the right spanner in his hand to take the battery terminal off
If he hadn’t i don’t think we would have been able to put it out before the car went up
 
seems to have been a faulty coil that caused an electrical fire
i shudder to think whet might have happened if id been driving it in traffic
