Well today was not a good day, got home from the bank and could smell fuel inside the car.
Shut off the car and then saw smoke comming up from under to bonnet, got out and then started seeing flames.
The fire service only took 5 mins to arrive but the motor and electrics are still cooked.
Holden dealer has had a look and estimates will cost arround $10000+ to fix because everything has to be replaced including the motor.
Looks like i will be doing some car shopping shortly all depends on what the insurance guys say being as the fire was contained to the engine bay but there was alot of smoke which went into the car.
