Hi
It was a 2008 BMW 2 litre petrol.

Properly taxed and MOT'd.

Not electric or hybrid.

I have to say I thought this and the Luton fire could be battery related, and I suppose they still could, but I was assuming a big electric car battery.

There seem to be quite a few news items about cars bursting into flames over the last few months. Has anyone noticed this? Is it because the press are reporting it more often or that it is happening more often and, if so, why?
