General Fiat Idea up in flames

[ideafire]

Sister in law has a Fiat Idea. Came home from Florida to a flat battery at Gatwick. Car was jumped started and driven home to Norwich. Next day used around town, and parked up at home. 10 mins later smoke coming from bonnet, top right. Full fire devleoped and it was completely burnt out.

Do Ideas catch fire on a regular basis??

Thanks

Would have though that it is a very unusual event, however I dream about that happening to my god awful Panda

Hi, any car can catch fire if certain cirumstances occur, if the smoke came from the engine bay it could be that there was an electrical fault, or fuel leak, or something could have entered the engine bay and caused a problem. Do you know what caused the flat battery?
