• Burnt Bum!

    Posted by Marcella Ross on March 5, 2006 at 9:16 pm

    I thought I’d tell you all my tale of woe…….. 🙁

    Jumped into my car today after a wander around Glasgow, it had been really cold. So as you do….. heater on, electric heated seats on…….
    Just got onto to the M8 and wondered was the smell was …….. my ar$e on fire!!! 😮 The electric heated seat caught fire and burnt right through the leather! 😥 smoke everywhere….. So I quickly turned them off and hoped that it didn’t get worse. Thankfully the only thing I had to do was get the windows down to get the smell and smoke out.

    I think a trip to the dealers tomorrow …. it’s still under warranty thankfully! 👿

    oh my… where was I, could have helped you in your moment of sizzle.

    I would take photos of anything you can see visible (the car seat 😉 )
    so you got proof etc if they start mucking about.

    hope u get it sorted

    thanks Dave! Yeah, no worries. I’ve owned the car since new and my brother in law now works in the Merc dealers where it’s going. So there’s no fear that it’ll be sorted. The car has been kept immaculate since I got it, it’s just 2 years old this week.

    What a bummer 😳

    you’re right Nik YOU SHOULDN’T LAUGH! As a moderator of this site you should show concern for your fellow signmakers …. not gloat! My ass got burnt and my Merc has got a hole in the seat…. but god it was funny! :lol1: I can laugh now. Thankfully my a$$ is fine, Brian thanks for the offer, but it would take a brave man to go near my behind with a jar of vaseline 😮 😮 😮
