Another similar thing a couple of weeks ago. Hope it's not a design flaw! |

Lost mine in a fire in 2015 (09 xs) no warning no previous faults. Fire so extensive cause never explained! |

I believe that Public Service vehicles like that often have a lot of extra electrical kit such as h/d alternators, inverters, extra batteries etc. That could be the problem there. I've decided to stop being a good example and will now just be a terrible warning.....

Yes but on the other hand it will have been professionally fitted and to a high standard.

I recently serviced my FL2 and having read about the recall issue involving fire hazards and out of curiosity I removed the engine cover just to make sure all was in order.....and to my surprise I found it was definitely not!!.....seems I have had a stowaway!......who has been collecting combustible material and eating insulation all in a very warm environment!....far from ideal! |

Probably a rapid response vehicle. Carries paramedics to the scene and stabilises casualty until ambulance or helicopter arrives. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone 300TDi Disco (bought new - terrible car) sent back after 18 months Freelander 1 Estate - leased, given back at end of lease 200TDi Disco (bought from a mate with 100,000 on the clock) - Gone Disco 2 TD5 - sold and exported to France FR2 TD4 GS - Gone FR2 SD4 HSE - Now changed for a DS New model ex-demo Evoque S 180 in white Unable to order a new DS, so gave up. Now have a Volvo S90 Recharge. |

Sadly it's a familiar sight to me. This is a link to my fire incident http://www.freel2.com/forum/topic26479.html caused by the engine cooling fan control module overheating and catching fire. JLR's response left a bit (in fact everything) to be desired.
