Guess the car

Post by Angelus666 » Tue Mar 09, 2021 12:16 pm

At the vets this morning and in the car park was this lovely looking thing.....can you guess what it was?

The chap turned up to remove it, apparently it was just a small fuel leak which are 'fairly common' on these cars. Went up within 60 seconds. :fuelfire:

Shocking if diesel goes up that quickly? I would have voted petrol but not having heard of the issue I'll bow to your knowledge.

That's interesting.
I've been collecting autobiographies of 'The Few' for a while now and they all say that the greatest risk of fire was a glycol leak, not fuel as you'd expect.

Just buying a stubby would have been less drastic

I’ve had the work done on the 335D
It was recalled for a “check” it was later recalled for a refit. :thumbsup:
