Got stuck in this monster of a traffic jam. I was nearly an hour just a few hundred metres short of the Leopardstown exit.
One thing which annoyed me, is there are dozens of ignorant motorists who won’t move for the emergency services or the M50 maintenance people responding to the incident. Some enterprising morons will even try cut up the hard shoulder, only ending up to block the emergency vehicle’s access to the incident. We should be prosecuting these people.
Should all be on traffic cams?
BMW x5 hefty price tag for something to go up in flames
I’m going to sue BMW for electric fire In my air conditioning. BMW ” Where’s the evidence”. Me “Burnt out on the aide of the M50″
Ive no idea whats going on but im absolutely certain from reports such as this and the evidence along the highways and motorways of Ireland that cars are spontaneously burning out at an unprecedented rate…seriously.
One in my local town burst into flames there 4 evenings ago. Wondering if they are all Opels??
Dont know Lily..only days ago the M4 at Liffey Valley eastbound was similarly blocked…and the M1 just weeks ago…something is wrong.
the dpf filter its the main cauze for overheated exhaust system from witch those cars burnout
Third party, FIRE, and theft is the cheapest insurance and daddy needs a new car!
The dpf is so expensive to service. Too many people buying diesel cars but they only do short drives that doesn’t suit a car with a dpf filter. The seller won’t tell you about that though.
Eduard…this dpf filter…is it on/in the exhaust system? Are 10 year old diesels fitted with them or is it only newer models?
Just newer cars Peter to keep the emissions down. Earlier insignias were horrible for it around the 2010 mark. Long drives the way to go.
Making sure the right type of engine oil is used when servicing is also critical and it’s not as simple as just referring to the grade as 5w30 synthetic, semi synthetic etc. Using oil with the correct ACEA/API or similar rating for your car engine type is critical to ensure that your dpf doesn’t get gunked up inside. I know for a fact that many garages aren’t up to speed on this issue either.
Thanks James…thats a relief..ive a 05 Mondeo diesel and her indoors has a diesel Renault…also old…isnt it ironic….
Peter, only Alanis Morissette would see any irony in that.
My wife care its anfiat croma 2007 and it has it. After 2000 they come on the cars
I would welcome a law whereby we all have to have a fire extinguisher in your car like on the continent. I hold my breath.
And let untrained people tackle a fire that has the added danger of a substantial amount of highly combustible and explosive fluid in it.
Nah , get out , get away and call the professionals . Not worth risking a life for a replaceable piece of metal.
Keith…for sure…even opening the bonnet on a car beginning to burn could cost you your face…
First thing I thought. Small bit of smoke, open the bonnet with your trusty fire extinguisher and then you’ll be hit with a big plume of smoke and a burned face!
The fire brigade had to come back out to this as it started burning again . Can’t see a fire extinguisher doing much.
You could just go and get one…if you like…not wait for a law to say you have to get one.
BMW X5 for Sale. Ash grey in colour, blazingly fast motor, excellent air con / heating system, drives like new.
‘Heavy delays’
Why?
Just put put the fire, remove the wreckage and let the world continue.
Why the big song and dance about minor road incidents in Ireland?
“No injuries have been reported”. The most important line in the story.
BM Trouble U
Drove past the car just as the fire was starting, flames started underneath the car looks looked like an oil leak, driver was out talking on his phone. Car was only an 08… thought the fire brigade would have arrived before it really caught fire, goes to show how quick a fire can spread.
“Bring in mandatory extinguisher in every car” brigade must be excited…
Leopardstown. Just has to be an X5.
A BMW ?
The driver must have used the indicator…
Publicity stunt for the new Absolutely Fabulous movie? Wheels on fire,rolling down the road…
Wasn’t service I say BMWs don’t go up in flames for no reason !
Opel Zafira ?
BMW X5 by the look of it, i thought the same initially, have a zafira myself recalled a second time because of fire hazard with air con/heating system.
Was it Nij burning out his X5 after a hit?
Has my Escort a DFP filter it gets very hot..
Ask her yourself.
I saw what happened. A big black bag of rubbish blew into the cars way and got stuck under it, which started the fire!!
Luckily nobody was injured.

Spontaneous combustion, happens more frequently than most people think.
