Driving down the road and thick black smoke started coming from under the bonnet.
As I braked to a hault the passenger opened the door ready to jump out and do heroic firefighting stuff but wasn't holding the door properly. As I stopped the door flew right open, busted the check strap and sprung back on itself, causing the checkstrap to mangle the inside edge of the door, and the panel the door hinges off.
Thing was, it wasn't a fire, it was the webasto heater I didn't even know I had in the smugglers box belching out soot. At least I found out what the dial in the centre console was for....
