Managed to get a look around the car and I've found the cause of the fire.
The braided lines for the Oil Cooler have touched the Alternator,burning through which caused the oil to go everywhere,igniting at the same time at a guess. Luckily it wasn't a fuel line!!
Some will say its repairable,but I've had too much bad luck with this car (front and rear fires aswell as impacts both sides). Its time to find another Mk1 1.6 and transfer everything over

Watch this space!
