182, SQ7, Trafic
Well what an eventful night I had last night! Some sound deadening came loose off of the back of the engine bay and parted onto the manifold. Car filled with smoke so went straight to a garage with hope of a fire extinguisher! Was there one? NO! So after opening bonnet and seeing a small flame to running round the petrol station, it then turned into a fairly bit bigger fire.
GF's bro had ran off and foudn a taxi place 1/4 mile up road who pottered around bringing a fire extinguisher. All I got do was sit and watch it burn
3 traffic police had turned up within 2 minutes of the 999 call but the fire brigade went to the wrong Shell garage
The manifold must of been roasting as the baffles in the rear box were glowing red. Await my Good Flames post later on!
It doesn't look to be too much damage, possible loom melting, reservoir pots all melted, scuttle panel and wiper motor melted. Bonnet paint has come away and distorted a fair bit. Going to look at it in a bit to determine the damage. Luckily I have a scrapper 172 here with most of the bits I need!
