For information: on arrival at a motor show in NE Scotland last Sunday morning, one of the bolts in the battery tray of a Tuscan had worn through the housing on the charging point causing it to short out.

Result, lots of smoke, plenty of heat, and what could best be described as a potentially serious "Near Miss".
Plenty of fire extinguishers etc on hand, wheel removed and battery compartment opened, problem sorted.

Worth having a look, check for any wear. This was on an early Tuscan.
