Doesn't look like a powersounder fire to me... I'd expect the scuttle to melt quickly Undecided

agreed, not sure what that ones caused by Undecided

Tough one to guess... I wonder if there had been any work done recently before the fire?

If I had to speculate I'd be looking as a slight leak from one of the fuel lines onto the manifold Undecided

Looking at the flash burning to the sound deadening on the underside of the bonnet, I'd have to conclude a fuel leak from plenum end of the fuel lines... Cry

Breaking: 2003 2.6 MV6 Auto Estate. Z157 Star Silver.

Yes, I think it must have been fuel-related. I had in fact removed and completely rebuilt the engine not long before. I'd checked carefully and hadn't spotted any fuel leaks though.
