Title: Almost caught fire
Post by: hoofing it on 13 May 2012, 16:31:31

I was going to put my sennyA in for it's mot on friday there but disaster struck whilst I was checking the lights.
The engine wasn't running and I had it sitting on the charger whilst checking the lights to find a number plate light out so whilst I changed the bulb I left the side lights on changed the bulb and it worked only to find inside the car full of smoke and the dreaded smell of cooking wires :'( :'( :'(.
So it looks like the dashboard is coming out to find the offending wiring.
Ah well looks like she won't be on the road this year but for a 25yr old these things happen. :( :(
Thank god it wasn't at the mot station when this happened
