Anyway, aren't you supposed to avoid burnt under-bonnet bits like the plague? Isn't there chemicals released that sink through your skin and melt your bones?? Can't remember the name of the stuff now but it's bad bad bad innit???
Burnt plastics and wiring are very carcinogenic (cause cancer). When rewiring burnt out wiring looms, I have to wear gloves. Once it's been cleaned away the risk has gone though, so any bunt bits should be bbinned immediately and skin protection should be worn.
