"not suspicious......"

It makes you wonder just how many vehicles catch fire without an obvious cause.

I met a guy in the High Country last year who also had his Disco 3 suddenly catch fire. He was on the bitumen in Central Queensland when it just started smoking, then burned to the ground.

He apparently had no problems with the insurance company (a miracle?), so I wonder how many similar insurance claims are made.

Volkswagen beetles used to self combust a bit ... usually on the freeway at morning or evening peak hour.

With the concentration on the RH rear where the wiring connections are for the traler wiring, what is the bet that bad trailer wiring is the cause.
And that can happen EVEN TO TOYOTAS.

It is amazing what can start fires - even a water bottle under the right conditions

Water Bottle Fire starter???

Not suspicious ........ as in "not deliberate" - I would imagine .....

Biggest hassle is negative switching in vehicles .... constant power supplied throughout the vehicle waiting for the earth contact to be provided for a component to activate.

In general tho ....... Bad stowage, kids stomping on the harnesses/plugs under the carpet, home handyman accessory wiring, crimped/squashed/damaged wires from storage drawer / cargo barrier fitting, poor trailer wiring as mentioned .... can cause grief.

and then with LR ... there is always Mr Lucas to consider ....
