Some of you may remember me asking for help identifying a noise from the engine. Couldnt fix it and it got a lot worse on the trip to the garage...Then it stopped...This is the aftermath!

Feckin' ell!
That's serious stuff, not the usual "oops something went clunk". At least you're in one piece there's been a lot of bad luck recently in the "Loti community". At least you lived to tell the tale and insurance should cover it in some respects.
A stiff drink or two in order following that one!

Just noted it's Rover engined. More of a claim to fame than HGF!
... anyone remember Readers Digest "Laughter is the best medicine"?

glad to hear that you are alright though.Jesus thats scarey stuff. I'd been thinking about popping in to Halfords to buy an extinguisher myself, and thats just reminded me to make an effort to do it on the way home from work today.
Pleased you're okay. I can understand you being gutted, seeing such a beautiful car reduced to this, but at least you're okay.
Best of luck sorting out insurance etc, hopefully you'll be back on the road before long
Take care.

Bloody hell, that's awful mate, very scary stuff.
Can't begin to imagine how it must feel, I can only echo the sentiments of others and say at least you're ok and in one piece.
Hope the insurance claim is quickly processed and painless.
A fire extinguisher in that circumstance, especially the tiny ones from halfords and the like are useless. When they go up like that it takes hold at a frightening rate.

.Sure little fire extinguishers have their limits, and yes if its gonna go up quickly there's not much you can do, but I'd still like to be armed with something to give me a chance. With having no extinguisher of any kind, tiniest slowest of flames and I'd just have to sit back and watch them develop.
I'm getting one on my way home !!
