Possible fire under bonet
Hi Folks.
Having trouble with the EGR valves on my Disco3 07 plate. Today as i was travelling to work the car was more sluggish than normal, very smokey at the back, when i got out the car at work i could see smoke from the bonnet, pulled the bonnet and cpuld smell burning and smoke coming from passenger side of engine bay. Had to leave car and head of to work. Might be a shell when i get bacl...lol..anyone any ideas??
Cheers Kenny

Fuel Burning Heater. It's a fuel fired heater that runs when the temperature outside is below about 7 Degrees C to help speed up the heating of the coolant.
You can get a remote control for it too so your car's warm when you get to it.1972 Range Rover Classic 2 door V8

Joking aside, there have been several reports of the FBH exhaust touching a fuel pipe!!It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.
