Cheers, my bro-in-laws burns are gettin better, his hand and arm was the worst!
Turned out that the head of the front fuel rail bolt sheered off, letting the rail move out and the o ring blew out!!
I have got a long way to go, I have a parts list as long as my arm!
It even melted the clutch cable quadrant on the pedal box.
Worst bit is havin to put a car loom in it.

So lucky my friend spotted it when we were checking oil/water.
