michaelhayler17 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Hi all, hope this is roughly in the right place. Long story short my friends galaxy caught fire, after a service, and is history now. Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else or if anyone knows if this has happened else where. Trying to figure out what has caused this to happen.

gregers Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 possible cause might be the fuse box in the engine bay,they do have the tendencies to melt a tad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeebowhite Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 That was a diesel? I suspect it was an electrical fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelhayler17 Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 Yeah "was" looking at it afterwards made it really hard to see where it even started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Looks to me like it was inside, the bodywork is only lightly damaged and the back end is less damaged than the rest of it. And the rear looks better than the front, but also the front tyres haven't melted yet there's next to nothing left of the inside. That would be my guess perhaps a dash fire.

AdeMk1 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Hasn't the fire service done a report on the possible cause or where the origin of the fire was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Comes to something when I read the title 'Galaxy Fire'...and assumed it was some new smart phone... That's really not good though, hope you manage to find the source and the insurance give a good payout! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
