P38 Fire

[ChrismonDA]

This is a video from a friend mine's website jocofire.com. The call came out as a vehicle fire that ended up being a P38 Range Rover I do not know the year, just wondering what could have caused the fire? Fuel rail leak?

Maybe it was the starting magnesium.

There were a few things causing fires in P38's a while ago.

There was a recall for radiator hose clamps. Those were failing and causing some fires. I replaced mine and had no problems.
Also a problem with battery acid leaking onto the fuse box. My P38 had this but I luckily caught it in time and put in a new fuse box before anything caught fire.

Transmission leak caused one to burn to the ground on the trail.

That would suck. Thanks for the responses good link K Rover. Looks exactly like the video they are lucky they didn't start a huge forest fire.

I saw one the brake pressure relief spewed brake fluid right onto the exhaust... Went up fast.
