It happened on Friday 27th Jan - right at the start, the battery under the drivers seat explodes, then the handbrake cable melts & you can see what happens! Driver had been out for a while - as you can see the bonnet is up.

If you look closely at the video clip when Claremont arrives... their rescue locker on the pump has been left opened or came open during the travel, hehehe....
